Having decided to build a simulation environment using DronecodeSDK on ubunto 16.04.5, I used the process described on Building SDK from source. Then I built the PX4 software and also installed the jMAVSim toolchain and jMAVSim with SITL
With all these dependencies installed I can load PX4 using
make posix_sitl_default jmavsim
but when it tries to install the GUI it crashes. I’ve seen other threads discussing this issue, but have not been able to resolve it using these approaches. There are several references to graphics issues, but the crashing is troublesome. Any help will be appreciated. This is what I get:
