ros-noetic add ign packages to win (needs rebuild)

Jun 11 '21 16:06 raghavauppuluri13

looks like the ign package doesn't exist?

Jun 11 '21 17:06 wolfv

It was listed in the package list , should that be removed?

Jun 11 '21 17:06 raghavauppuluri13

I think that package is ros-ign, ros-ign-bridge, and so on so forth.

Ah. That'll do it. Thanks @traversaro

Triggered the build - let's see what happens.

Seems like osx is failing - check patch/add_dependencies.yaml and add gtest for the failing package.

Same error on Windows..

Jun 12 '21 08:06 Tobias-Fischer

Any clue why the ci doesn't get triggered @wolfv?

ign-gazebo is currently not build for OSX and win, see https://github.com/conda-forge/libignition-gazebo-feedstock/issues/2

This now fails because of incompatible ign versions - we are overwriting gazebo3 (citadel) with gazebo5 (edifice) as this is the first available version for win on conda-forge, but would need to do the same for transport & msgs (map from citadel to edifice). Any objections against this weird mapping?

We should probably just do this for all platforms ..

This now fails because ros-noetic-pluginlib-1.13.0-py38h508dd2d_5 needs tinyxml2=8 ..

We probably need a full rebuild here, too :(

Ok for me. When everything works and the amount of fixes is reduced, we can think of using the LTS (perhaps Fortress, see https://ignitionrobotics.org/docs/all/releases) or having alternatives, but for the time being just using the latest make more sense.

Hi @traversaro - just to confirm, this PR won’t be possible as Noetic only works with Fortress, but we don’t build Fortress for Windows anymore?

Yes, I am afraid unless we make sure that Fortress packages works on Windows, this PR can't work.

Ok thanks Silvio! I assume getting things to work won’t be trivial, so let’s close here. If there are interested people we could guide them in the right direction.

Hi @raghavauppuluri13 - feel free to let us know if you are still interested in this for Windows - we can point you in the right direction if you would like to contribute.
