Hi all,

I developed custom controllers as plugins of ros_control package. Everything works smoothly on ROS Noetic in Ubuntu. Currently, I'm trying to port the same packages in Windows. All the packages compile in Windows, and I can generate the controller as a .dll library in the right folder. The problem arises when I try to load the controller; I always get the same error:

[ERROR] [1668438174.709061300]: Could not load class 'positioncontrollers/NameOfTheController': Failed to load library C:/pathtocontroller/nameofthecontroller.dll. Make sure that you are calling the PLUGINLIBEXPORTCLASS macro in the library code and that names are consistent between this macro and your XML. Error string: Could not load library (Poco exception = C:/pathtocontroller/nameofthe_controller.dll)

[ERROR] [1668438174.709787900]: Could not load controller 'nameofthecontroller' because controller type 'positioncontrollers/NameOfTheController' does not exist.

The controller is present as .dll in the directory where ROS is looking for. PLUGINLIBEXPORTCLASS is properly called, and all the names are consistent otherwise, the plugin should not work in Ubuntu. Does anyone have a similar problem?

Looking forward to any reply! Thanks!

Enrico
