Unable to build gazebo_plugins in ROS Kinetic

[mtc-20]

Solution

• first make sure you have protoc compiler installed

  sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler

• make sure to clean your catkin_ws

  rm -rf ~/catkin_ws/build/ ~/catkin_ws/devel/

  then run catkin_make

• if you have errors related to mutex or some gazebo cpp codes

  • update your gcc, follow these instructions to have dual gcc versions side by side. Basically gcc 6.x is required for these to work

• after switching to gcc 6.x, build catkin_ws

  NOTE: some ROS packages (for eg. gazebo_ros) might get uninstalled during the previous step, just reinstall the necessary ones based on catkin_make output

@mtc-20 Yes it did. I received two notifications, one from my Github app and one from email
