Hello,
I hope this is the right forum category because the course I’m working on is called URDF for Robot Modeling in ROS2
and not URDF for Robot Creation in ROS2
.
I just finished Unit 4 and quite a lot happened there, and the robot will probably become increasingly complex throughout the rest of the course. Therefore, I wanted to take the packages developed so far and copy them to my Docker environment with ROS2 Humble so I could test it there and also reproduce what we have done so far locally. Unfortunately, I am unable to build the packages there because of (presumably) missing dependencies. Could someone help me figure out what dependencies I need to install in order to run the packages from this course locally and, preferably, how to install them?
For starters, here’s part of the error I get when running colcon build
:

--- stderr: my_box_bot_description
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:11 (find_package):
By not providing "Findxacro.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "xacro", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "xacro" with any of
the following names:
xacroConfig.cmake
xacro-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "xacro" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"xacro_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "xacro"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
