MicroXRCEAgenet Build and Install fails with missing TINY2_SOURCE_DIR in cmake

asked 2019-07-27 21:25:54 -0600

Environment

  • Turtlebot3 Waffle
  • Intel i5 NUC
  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • ROS2 Dashing

MicroXRCEAgent bin not found

I found a ros-crystal-micro-xrce-dds-agent package for apt. There isn't one for dashing. So I tried to build it.

MicroXRCEAgent build failed on dashing

Reference: Micro-XRCE-DDS-Agent build Insturctions See my build log below.

ERROR during cmake: "Could NOT find tinyxml2 (missing: TINYXML2_SOURCE_DIR)" See below for build log.

Reference: Similar error on a BegleBone with ROS1 The solution of installing liblinyxml2-dev on top of everything did not solve this problem.

Link to CMakeList.txt

Question

How do I fix MicroXRCEAgent build and install?

     You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
     changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
     state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

     If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
     do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

       git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

Are you sure the tinyxml install worked completely? Did you run 'apt search tinyxml' to make sure the package is there?

The only other thing could be a PATH problem. I would find your TINYXML2_SOURCE_DIR and see if it's in your path.

The package is there

 $ apt search libtinyxml2-dev
    Sorting... Done
    Full Text Search... Done
    libtinyxml2-dev/bionic,now 6.0.0+dfsg-1 amd64 [installed]
      TinyXML2 library - header and static library

I can find tinyxml source here

$ ls ~/turtlebot3_ws/src/navigation2/BehaviorTree.CPP/3rdparty/tinyXML2/
    tinyxml2.cpp  tinyxml2.h
$ ls /usr/include/tin*
    /usr/include/tinyxml2.h  /usr/include/tinyxml.h

I also found libtinyxml2.so in /usr/lib/...

I don't know where TINYXML2_SOURCE_DIR is set, what its value should be and in which path variable it should be included.

I got MicroXRCEAgenet to build using these instructions. Installing the Agent stand-alone

I had to add library paths and ignore a tinyxml2 library not found error in cmake. MicroXRCEAgent executes so I can now test it with the OpenCR board. I'll provide details in the Answer section later.

Hopefully, the Bashing install package will become available like it is for Crystal so we don't have to do a source build.

The instructions I was using were from the section 15.1.2 for Raspbian SBC setup for Raspberry Pi in the TB3 emanual (bullet 3 Follow instruction that ...). I should have known they would be different on Ubuntu.
