Error building: no member named 'hardware_interface'

[atyshka]

I attempted to clone and build this repository but ran into errors with hardware_interface, specifically the struct ControllerInfo. I get the error ‘const struct hardware_interface::ControllerInfo’ has no member named ‘hardware_interface’ Sure enough, this string has been missing from the struct since a 2015 commit. I tried two workarounds: using an old version of controller_interface.h in hardware_interface that did have the hardware_interface string, and for the other solution replacing all references to the hardware_interface string with the type string, which appeared to be unused. Both solutions successfully built, but when I tried to run the bringup they both crash with error saying it could not find robot firmware. Am I missing something? Plenty of others have gotten this driver working fine.

master doesn't build on Kinetic, which I'm assuming you're running.

Try #120. That should work better.

I'm going to close this, as this is a known issue (see #58 fi).
