Could NOT find FastRTPS (missing: FastRTPS_INCLUDE_DIR FastRTPS_LIBRARIES)

I'm attempt to build a package with a custom action, but it fails with an error Could NOT find FastRTPS (missing: FastRTPS_INCLUDE_DIR FastRTPS_LIBRARIES). Please find full colon output below.

Google points me out to this fix and with export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$AMENT_PREFIX_PATH:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH it works. Is it an issue I have to report to some repository or it's something missed in my CMakeLists.txt or package.xml files?

$colcon build --packages-select my_package
Starting >>> my_package
--- stderr: my_package

it's something missed in my CMakeLists.txt or package.xml files?

that would be difficult to determine, seeing as you don't show us either of those files.

But I don't believe this is a problem in your package, but in your environment.

You'll probably have to describe how you installed ROS, how you normally activate/setup your workspace and whether you get this error with all packages that try to build messages or just this particular one.

Hi there, i encounted the same problem today, I saw your solution and solved my problem. Thanks.

it's something missed in my CMakeLists.txt or package.xml files?

I dont think so.
I have installed ROS2 binary and ROS2 source code in my PC.
Before i run the colcon build steps, i source the ROS2 binary path:source /opt/ros/dashing/setup.bash, then i check the AMENT_PREFIX_PATH and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH variables.The AMENT_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/ros/dashing, while the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH has empty value, so the colcon build was failed.
But if i source the ROS2 source code path source ~/ros2_ws/install/local_setup.bash, then the variable AMENT_PREFIX_PATH and CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH have the same value. so the problem may result from that you installed the ROS2 binary version.

Back to the point. what cause the difference between the above phenomenon. i still have no idea....

My workaround is to add this in your .bashrc:

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$AMENT_PREFIX_PATH

This way I don't need to change any project files.

You could also add the cmake path: ( but Ament already has all the cmake paths in my system )

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$AMENT_PREFIX_PATH:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

Since there's no answer, I might as well post a workaround based on this link from the official Intellij Support Forum.

You can add in your CMakeLists.txt before the find_package() macros the following:

set(FastRTPS_INCLUDE_DIR /opt/ros/foxy/include) 
set(FastRTPS_LIBRARY_RELEASE /opt/ros/foxy/lib/libfastrtps.so)

I had the same issue. In my case, that error message was because I wrote incorrectly a package.xml file of one of my custom packages.

I wrote something like the following:

<depend>mypackage</mypackage> (incorrect xml tag closing)

Then, when I tried to build using colcon I got "that error message": "NOT find FastRTPS (missing: FastRTPS_INCLUDE_DIR FastRTPS_LIBRARIES)"

When I fixed the package.xml syntax issue the error disappeared.

Have you reported this somewhere?

gvdhoorn ( 2020-10-05 14:42:50 -0600 )edit

Not yet. Where should I report that? Should I do that in the issues in the rrclcpp github project?

Pablo Iñigo Blasco ( 2020-10-06 07:44:30 -0600 )edit

Well, in which file did you find the syntax error? In which package was that file located?

gvdhoorn ( 2020-10-06 12:59:52 -0600 )edit

I may have not explained it correctly. The syntax error is in a package.xml file of one of my custom packages, so it is not in any repository. What I mean is that if you are getting "that error message" you may have written incorrectly your package.xml file (in your package).

Pablo Iñigo Blasco ( 2020-10-06 13:43:40 -0600 )edit

Ah, that changes things. I had understood your post as "I found an error in the FastRTPS package manifest". That would have been something to report.

gvdhoorn ( 2020-10-06 13:44:38 -0600 )edit

Correct. However, I would say that the error message was very disorienting and I spend a while there trying to figure out what was happening. I'd rather would have expected some explicit reference to the incorrect package.xml syntax for that kind of error.
