I have struggled with this . Can anyone provide a version list of a stable gazebo and dependencies version that has actually worked? I got close with gazebo6 but the nmake failed on the gzclient. There seems to be a data conversion issue .... ] C:\GitRepos\gz-ws\gazebo\gazebo/common/Event.hh(615) : while compiling c lass template member function 'gazebo::event::ConnectionPtr gazebo::event::Event T,std::allocator>>)>::Connect(const boost::function &)' with [ Kty=std::string , _Ty=std::string , T=void (std::mapstd::string,std::string,std::less<std::string,std ::allocator>>) ] C:\GitRepos\gz-ws\gazebo\gazebo\common\ModelDatabase.cc(360) : see refer ence to function template instantiation 'gazebo::event::ConnectionPtr gazebo::ev ent::EventT<void (std::map<std::string,std::string,std::less<Kty>,std::allocato r>>)>::Connect(const boost::function &)' being comp iled with [ Kty=std::string , _Ty=std::string , T=void (std::mapstd::string,std::string,std::less<std::string,std ::allocator>>) ] NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\PROGRA~2\MICROS~4.0\VC\bin\X86AM~1\cl.exe' : ret urn code '0x2' Stop.

I used ign-math2,sdf3 and gazebo6 in both release and debug configurations.

If I need to use another version please let me know the branches for sdformat, ign-math,ign-transport, gazebo as well as the versions of the 10 dependencies.....
