roboticsgroup_gazebo_plugins doesn't compile on gazebo 5 and newer (jade and kinetic)

If we can get rid of this dependency for all distro that would be the best. If not, we should specify in the readme that it compiles only for Indigo and explain that the physics will have different behavior according to which distro is used

that would be great! but no time for the moment. If anybody manages to make it without this dependency, please do PR!

Hi @mikaelarguedas, I am using kinetic and unable to compile roboticsgroup_gazebo_plugins. Does this issue have a solution?

@Anjalirao1 What version of roboticsgroup_gazebo_plugins are you trying to compile ? AFAIK this issue has been solved since roboticsgroup/roboticsgroup_gazebo_plugins#7 has been merged. I just tried to compile it locally and it compiled successfully:

mdkir -p ~/test_roboticsgroup_ws/src
cd ~/test_roboticsgroup_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/roboticsgroup/roboticsgroup_gazebo_plugins.git
cd ~/test_roboticsgroup_ws/
source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash
catkin_make

Can you post the error you get if you try to do the same ?
