I'm following this tutorial.

The build fails with

as wel as:

Note I have Gazebo 11 installed and working.

"Gazebo 11" and gazebo_ros are two different things.

The latter depends on the former, but the former does not have any dependency on the latter.

gazebo_ros is part of the gazebo_ros_pkgs metapackage, and brings in Gazebo support for ROS.

If you've installed Gazebo yourself, following the dependencies on the gazebosim website, it could well be you have Gazebo 11 working, but you don't have the gazebo_ros package, which is what the error message is about.

How does one get the gazebo_ros package on Fedora 32? I only see it for Debian/Ubuntu.

Aren't you already building everything from source?

You'd build it from sources as well then.

I don't know how you manage your source checkout right now.

I am following the build instructions here but again, they say Ubuntu/Debian. I'd prefer an RPM.

And there's no noetic version mentioned on that page.

I tried to insert noetic in the tutorial but I get:

You'll have to follow the Install from source instructions and translate the instructions to how you'd do those things on Fedora.

I'd prefer an RPM

Those aren't available.

Or at least not publicly afaik. You may want to post a comment on RPM Packaging Support in ros_buildfarm to let ppl know there are users interested in the RPM packaging/packages.

In general the workflow would be something like this:

  1. install Gazebo 11 and the Gazebo 11 development packages or build things from source. I don't know whether there are any packages available for Fedora. That would be something you'd need to figure out. You did mention you had "installed Gazebo 11"
  2. git clone the gazebo_ros_pkgs repository into a Catkin workspace
  3. use rosdep to install all dependencies. If rosdep doesn't recognise your Gazebo installation, try using skip-keys to make it ignore dependencies you are sure are present
  4. build your workspace

If that is successful, you now have gazebo_ros_pkgs and related packages.

See #q252478 for an overview of the steps.

Yes that's what I did, I ran rosdep check --from-paths . --ignore-src --rosdistro noetic then got:

ERROR[gazebo_dev]: No definition of [libgazebo11-dev] for OS [fedora]
        rosdep key : libgazebo11-dev
        OS name    : fedora
        OS version : 32
        Data:
debian:
                  buster:
                  - libgazebo11-dev
                ubuntu:
                  focal:
                  - libgazebo11-dev

I don't think I should use the skip-keys option on that, correct? Is there a way to get libgazebo11-dev on Centos/Fedora?

I'll try to recap what I did to get this working.

  • First I git clone cmake_modules, control_toolbox, googletest, image_common, realtime_tools, ros_control, turtlebot3, turtlebot3_msgs, and tutrtlebot3_simulations in to src.

  • For Simbody I had to compile and make sure visualizer was turned on:

      cmake ~/simbody-source/simbody -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/bin -DBUILD_VISUALIZER=on
    
  • For $PATH I made sure Anaconda Python was not listed.

Then it worked.

I'm still trying to get gazebo_ros working but I'll start a new discussion.

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved
to system dependencies:
gazebo_dev: No definition of [libgazebo11-dev] for OS [fedora]

Thanks for all of your help gvdhoorn.
