Thanks for this! I've asked @jmachuca77 and @srmainwaring for their review too. |
|
@khancyr I have made the required changes and most of the dependencies will be downloaded while downloading and setting ardupilot. |

sudo apt install gz-garden rapidjson-dev is needed to install all the libraries. See https://gazebosim.org/docs/garden/install_ubuntu.

Need to create the workspace directory first, then clone, then cd into the project, then make build dir and build.
mkdir -p $AP_GZ_ROOT/src
pushd $AP_GZ_ROOT/src
git clone https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_gazebo
pushd ardupilot_gazebo
mkdir build && pushd buildSuggest that AP_GZ_ROOT has value ardupilot_gz_ws to distinguish from the project. Also, we should clone into $AP_GZ_ROOT/src so we can switch to using colcon for the build and install which is consistent with how Gazebo Sim and ROS2 are built (ardupilot_gazebo docs need to be updated to use this approach as well).

@rmackay9 - only had a chance to look at this. There are a few issues with the script I'm afraid. I've started to add notes but hit a couple of snags with the script for Ubuntu 20.04 / ROS Noetic which I'm documenting in #22484. We may also hit some issues with a desktop-full install of ROS1 which uses catkin and Gazebo11 and the plugin build which targets Gazebo Sim uses colcon. They should co-exist but I'm seeing a couple of package dependency issues for the ROS1 install when I rerun the script after installing gz-garden... |

Thanks very much for reviewing this. Sorry I merged this too quickly. I don't really understand this all that well so from now on I might hold off on merging PRs in this area until you've had a chance to review. Thanks again! |

Hi! Earlier I was working with Khancyr's and SwiftGust's version of ardupilot_gazebo package and these instructions were working pretty fine! Probably the issue arose after shifting to ardupilot's version of ardupilot_gazebo. Anyhow, thanks for these changes @srmainwaring |
