Supported ROS2 versions:

• Foxy Fitzroy

NOTE: the directory containing all files (i.e. package.xml etc) must be called sim_ros2_interface, otherwise build will fail.

1. Install required packages for libPlugin: see libPlugin's README
2. Checkout

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/CoppeliaRobotics/simExtROS2Interface.git sim_ros2_interface

3. Edit meta/interfaces.txt if you need to include more ROS interfaces. You need to specify the fully qualified interface, e.g. geometry_msgs/msg/Twist rather than Twist.
4. Compile

$ colcon build --symlink-install

Note: if you are reporting a compile error, please use this command to build:

VERBOSE=1 MAKEFLAGS=-j1 colcon build --symlink-install --event-handlers console_direct+ --parallel-workers 1

Add --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug if you are encountering a runtime error (e.g. crash, unexpected behavior, etc...).
