I just came across something similar to this.

I installed ros-iron-rmw-cyclonedds-cpp to get around it. I believe there is a dependency missing but not specifically to cyclonedds. I think it depends on one of the (vendor)dds-cpp implementations... Or maybe just some documentation missing.

Here is my line 11

	find_package(controller_interface REQUIRED)

My issue was due to exporting RMW_IMPLEMENTATION in my bashrc.

export RMW_IMPLEMENTATION=rmw_cyclonedds_cpp

When I unset the RMW_IMPLEMENTATION it worked fine. I had set it for another project.

Unless there a nice way to depend on a rmw_implementation in a package.xml so that when a user runs:

rosdep install --ignore-src --from-paths src -y -r
