robotpkg

Hello,

I am installing ros-rospack through robotpkg on an Intel NUC i3 running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

I got the following error:

===> Configuring for ros-rospack-2.5.1
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.

Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Boost-1.74.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by
"boost_program_options" (requested version 1.74.0) with any of the
following names:

boost_program_optionsConfig.cmake
boost_program_options-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "boost_program_options" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
or set "boost_program_options_DIR" to a directory containing one of the
above files.  If "boost_program_options" provides a separate development
package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I solved it by installing libboost-program-options-dev with my system package manager, as reported here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20502194/cmake-cannot-find-boost-program-options-on-debian

Is this the good approach? If so, shouldn't robopkg warn about this missing package?

In attachment, I provide you with my robotpkg.conf, if that can be of any help, as well as the log file in <prefix>/robotpkg/sysutils/ros-rospack/work.luffy/configure.log.
