Hi ! ALL
Could U help me please
My Ubuntu
Distrib.pdf (491 Bytes)
My PX4 process installation with ubuntu.sh
PX4_installation.pdf (300.1 KB)
and try to make gazebo simulation— have error
ninja: error: unknown target ‘sitl_gazebo-classic’
make: *** [Makefile:227: px4_sitl_default] Error 1
make gazebo-classic.pdf (7.7 KB)

I feel like you guys have the new gazebo installed and are trying to run the classic version. Try running this command first, to remove the new gazebo and download the classic one:

sudo apt remove gz-garden
sudo apt install aptitude
sudo aptitude install gazebo libgazebo11 libgazebo-dev

Hi guys, newbie here. I have ubuntu 22.0 and I installed gazebo classic but when I enter:

make px4_sitl gazebo-classic

it ends with:

T_BIND_GLOBAL_PLACEHOLDERS to retain the current behavior.’

btw, I already used the sequence

sudo apt remove gz-garden
sudo apt install aptitude
sudo aptitude install gazebo libgazebo11 libgazebo-dev

do I have hope with ubuntu 22 or shall I downgrade to Ubuntu 20?

Hi,

I think the path you chose to install the Gazebo may be incorrect. It simply cannot find the gazebo simulation app.

Hi @Benja I am having the same problem. Please find the ubuntu.sh code below.
FYI I am using Ubuntu 22.04 with ROS2 packages installed and Gazebo Sim 7.

Code:
#! /usr/bin/env bash

set -e

Bash script to setup PX4 development environment on Ubuntu LTS (22.04, 20.04, 18.04).

Can also be used in docker.

Installs:

- Common dependencies and tools for nuttx, jMAVSim, Gazebo

- NuttX toolchain (omit with arg: --no-nuttx)

- jMAVSim and Gazebo9 simulator (omit with arg: --no-sim-tools)

INSTALL_NUTTX=“true”
INSTALL_SIM=“true”
INSTALL_ARCH=uname -m

Parse arguments

for arg in “$@”
do
if [[ $arg == “–no-nuttx” ]]; then
INSTALL_NUTTX=“false”
fi

if [[ $arg == "--no-sim-tools" ]]; then
	INSTALL_SIM="false"
fi

done

detect if running in docker

if [ -f /.dockerenv ]; then
echo “Running within docker, installing initial dependencies”;
apt-get --quiet -y update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get --quiet -y install
ca-certificates
gnupg
lsb-core
sudo
wget
;
fi

script directory

DIR=$( cd “$( dirname “${BASH_SOURCE[0]}” )” && pwd )

check requirements.txt exists (script not run in source tree)

REQUIREMENTS_FILE=“requirements.txt”
if [[ ! -f “${DIR}/${REQUIREMENTS_FILE}” ]]; then
echo “FAILED: ${REQUIREMENTS_FILE} needed in same directory as ubuntu.sh (${DIR}).”
return 1
fi

check ubuntu version

otherwise warn and point to docker?
