Ignition install fails on ubuntu
Hi,
I initially tried the binary install of ignition which leads to the following errors after following the steps on this page.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ignition-edifice : Depends: libignition-gazebo5-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libignition-gui5-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libignition-launch4-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libignition-sensors5-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libignition-rendering5-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
After failing to find a solution, I moved on to building it from source. When I try building the ignition libraries the following build errors occur:
BUILD ERRORS: These must be resolved before compiling. Missing: Qt5 Components: Core, Quick, QuickControls2, Widgets)
I have tried finding solutions online but couldn't. Installing qt5-default, libqwt-qt5-6, libqwt-qt5-dev did not resolve the issue.
Does anyone have a idea of how to fix either these installation methods?

I see these issues only exist for edifice. Dome installs correctly with both methds.

Assuming you are working on Ubuntu, I can say that this error is common. remove all previously installed ignition libraries and try this
sudo apt update
and install all binaries again. This helped me.Asked by Adwait on 2021-04-17 12:05:35 UTC
