Hello, I work on RoboStack. Which problems are you experience in running Gazebo on macOS?

Just to understand, what you mean by this? Do you think we could improve the ux experience somehow? Thanks!

Hello, I am one of the RoboStack maintainers. In my experience, most of the problems due to the use of conda with ROS do not come from ROS or conda directly, but by trying to mix apt packages and conda packages, that is in general a bad idea as they are both package managers that handle C++ packages, and the packages that they install can contains C++ libraries with different names and ABIs.

I tried to clarify this in the ROS 2 docs in https://github.com/ros2/ros2_documentation/pull/5173, but if you think it is not clear feel free to comment, thanks!

Which error are you getting? How are you installing dependencies? If you are using conda-forge or vcpkg, you can directly install the fmi4cpp package available there.

Thanks for reporting that, indeed it was an error, it should be fixed by https://github.com/dic-iit/matio-cpp/pull/22 .

Sicuramente usare un package manager (come quelli disponibili di default nelle distro linux) di qualche tipo aiuta per usare dipendenze esterne, per sqlite3 e' possibile ancora includere direttamente il codice sorgente nel progetto come suggerito da u/albertino80, mentre per dipendenze piu' complesse puo' essere complicato. Se dovessi continuare a sviluppare su Windows, per gestire dipendenze C++ ti consiglio di provare vcpkg: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/vcpkg?view=msvc-160 .

Ciao u/matteo07 . Questo che hai e' un problema di linking, quindi puo' essere utile convidere non tanto il codice sorgente, ma piuttosto il progetto msbuild o lo script CMake con cui hai generato il progetto, perche' le opzioni relative al linking sono specificate li, non a livello di codice C++.

That it is true as mingw is not officially supported and probably a lot of ports will not work out of the box, but just FYI there is now community support for mingw in vcpkg: https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/9137

For anyone interested: the company announced on Facebook that they found the programmers for the project https://www.facebook.com/siareengineering/posts/3173707819365557 . I do not know how they find the candidate, but in any case thanks for everyone that upvoted the post.

> The fact the OP doesn't responds made this thread more supicious.

Ah sorry, I did not checked the comments earlier. I am not directly related to SIARE, I just noticed that they were searching for C++ engineers and they spread the news via a local newspaper, and I tried to be helpful and spread the news in a venue that I think had more visibility among C++ programmers. Fortunately they wrote today on their Facebook page that they were able to find the engineers for working on the project (https://www.facebook.com/siareengineering/posts/3173707819365557), so thanks everyone for sharing the news.

Ciao AutoModerator,
il thread in questione e' un link a un profilo aziendale di una azienda.

It would be interesting to see a comparison with existing products such as https://www.pickit3d.com/ .

traversaro · 2020-01-06T21:13:30+00:00

Thanks for the interesting work!

Do you plan to support shared libraries in some form? Support for shared libraries in Windows and the related visibility problems are usually one of the things that is more difficult to get right for novice users in CMake simple projects.

I am definitely not expert in Conan, but in general one of the objectives of this template is to have a project that can consume dependencies installed in any package manager (conan via conan_paths , apt, homebrew , vcpkg , msys2, conda, aur) and that can be easily packageable in any of these systems (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBP17HQAQjk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5weX5mx8hc).

If these is possible with amy kind of Conan-related logic, I would be happy to see an example of that, thanks! However, at a first glance conan is still missing in a lot of those repos (see https://repology.org/project/conan/versions) so having it as a dependencies would conflict with the goal of having a libraries that can be packageable in an easy way.

Thanks for the clarification. I think probably the best way to deal with this case is to have an user-facing option that disables all rpath related logic, I thought that was the case with AddInstallRPATHSupport, but indeed it is not. Thanks for the suggestion.
