No symbols are exported for urdfdom_model_state and urdfdom_sensor libraries
Apparently during the configuration this two libraries (urdfdom_model_state, urdfdom_sensor) are created, but no symbol from any of this two libraries is properly exported in https://github.com/ros/urdfdom/blob/master/urdf_parser/include/urdf_parser/urdf_parser.h .
On Windows this causes an error when using the urdfdom library.
I guess there are three possible solutions:
- Properly expose the symbols defined in this two libraries.
- Remove these libraries.
- Add the source code of this libraries to the
urdf_model(but without exposing the symbols this will be unused code).
Where are urdf_model_state and urdfdom_sensor used?
urdf_model_state.cpp defines a function urdf::parseModelState, but it's not used in this repo and there are no headers for it. Similar story for urdf_sensor.cpp.
If they are not used and no one else can use them because there is no header, it seems like option 2 (removing the libraries) is the way to go.
I don't remember the status of this issue or if the upstream version of urdfdom is compiling on Windows/MSVC, but I agree that removing these libraries is the way to go in any case.
