Humble Support?

[tonynajjar]

Does the foxy-devel branch support Humble? From what I tried, no. Here is (part of) the traceback I get when building:

Humble is not currently supported, but is on our backlog.

[tonynajjar]

I got it to compile by adding defaults to the declare_parameter() functions. If you don't see much more effort to be put into it to support humble, I can create a PR (I would need a new humble branch)

[ooeygui]

Thank you for the offer! I created a humble branch from foxy if you want to PR what you've done so far; that would definitely be helpful!

Hi! Thanks for creating the branch. I am running ROS2 Humble on Ubuntu 22.04. When I try to build the package, I get the following error:

In case it matters, I need to use libk4a1.4 and libk4abt1.1.
Any idea of why this could be happening? I am not sure that is related to the fact I am using Humble though.

[francescosemeraro]

Ok, I sorted it out. Apparently, you need to specify the duration in seconds and nanoseconds with two separate variables, while constructing the rclcpp::Duration object. Replacing this line with the highlighted one will do.

marker_msg->lifetime = rclcpp::Duration(int32_t(0),uint32_t(25000000));
