CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:15 (add_library): Target "laserscan_to_pointcloud" links to target "tf2_sensor_msgs::tf2_sensor_msgs" but the target was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

Did you guys make sure to pull the correct branch for your ROS2 version?

[Merlinecodes]

Please try this: git clone [url] --branch=[branch name]

I stopped getting the CMake error once I cloned the correct branch and compiled it (foxy in my case)

Hi, You can try: git clone -b humble [url] It works for me.

Remember to switch to correct branch for your ros distro.

# see which branch is available for your ros distro version
git branch -a

# switch to correct branch before build
git switch <branch_name>
