How to build mapviz in ros2 foxy #781

Closed neilkhadilkar23 closed 10 months ago

I am trying to build mapviz on ros2 foxy using colcon build. I am on the dashing-devel branch. I understand that ros2 does not use catkin, but other people seem to be using this package on ros2. How do I do this? Thanks

colcon build --packages-select mapviz Starting >>> mapviz
--- stderr: mapviz CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:27 (find_package): By not providing "Findcatkin.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "catkin", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "catkin" with any of the following names:

catkinConfig.cmake
catkin-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "catkin" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "catkin_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "catkin" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

It really looks like you're on the master branch, which is for ROS 1. For Foxy and later, the ros2-devel branch is where current development is being done.
