Can't build agent because of fmt

Open Darkadius opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

  • Hardware description: Personnal computer running Ubuntu 24.04
  • Installation type: Micro-ros-setup, colcon-build, snap
  • Version or commit hash: jazzy
  • Current spdlog version: 1.15.0

Context: I'm building a ros2 package based on linorobot2 which requires micro ros agent.

Behavior

Following the installation tutorial, I execute the ros2 run build_agent.sh command and get this error:

Solutions tried:

-Downgrading spdlog: Jazzy's rclpy requires spdlog 1.15.0 -Building libfmt from source from here : Gives the above error as the new libfmt wasn't detected -Using the DUAGENT flag (both on/off) from here : Still gives me the above error -Using the snap version from here : The package does build successfully, however, the only micro-ros-agent package on snap was the foxy version, which causes fatal compatibility issues upon launching the linorobot2 package

It feels like I've tried everything short of a complete ros2/ubuntu reinstall (which I'd like to avoid, obviously). Does anyone has some advice?
