Bug report

Required Info:

• Operating System:
  • Ubuntu 18.04
• Installation type:
  • binaries
• Version or commit hash:
  • current branch:master
• DDS implementation:
  • Fast RTPS
• Client library (if applicable):
  • rclcpp

Steps to reproduce issue

git clone https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp.git
cd rclcpp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
wait cmake finish his job...
then, use make
and it prints a ERROR

Expected behavior

I tried to build rclcpp on my machine.but it failed.
make and make install should work fine
but now it didn't

Actual behavior

here is the "make" command prints :
/home/rbq/workspace/ROS2/source_codes_git/rclcpp/rclcpp/src/rclcpp/subscription_base.cpp: In member function ‘rmw_qos_profile_t rclcpp::SubscriptionBase::get_actual_qos() const’:

Feature description

Implementation considerations

[christophebedard]

If you're using all binaries except rclcpp @ master, it's not going to work because *subscription_get_actual_qos() was added only after the latest release. See ros2/rmw#177.

AFAIK you're going to have to build all of these from source:

• https://github.com/ros2/rmw
• https://github.com/ros2/rmw_implementation
• https://github.com/ros2/rcl
• https://github.com/ros2/rclcpp
• https://github.com/ros2/rmw_fastrtps (since you're using Fast RTPS)

Also you might want to build through colcon (see here)

[ivanpauno]

If you're building from source, you have to build the complete ROS2 workspace as detailed in the install instructions. Trying only to rebuild one package and using the other packages from binaries can easily end in this kind of problems.
As @christophebedard said, colcon is the recommended build tool.

I'm closing the issue. https://answers.ros.org is maybe a better please for this kind of questions.
