Error of gazebogenmsg to create the customized gazebo plugin

Hi, all.

I am trying yo generate the customized gazebo message plugin using the gazebogenmsg commend, as shown below.

%% custom message 
folderPath = 'C:\PersonalWorkspace\Yunsik\2nd_teleoperation\workspace\custommsg';

gazebogenmsg(folderPath,"GazeboMessageList",["gazebo.msgs.Joint","gazebo.msgs.Link",...
    "gazebo.msgs.Pose", "gazebo.msgs.Sensor", ...
    "gazebo.msgs.Contact", "gazebo.msgs.Contacts",...
    "gazebo.msgs.ContactSensor", "gazebo.msgs.Collision", "gazebo.msgs.Wrench", ...
    "gazebo.msgs.WrenchStamped", "gazebo.msgs.ForceTorque"]);

But, I got this error message,

>> custommsg

Validating ...

Error using

robotics.gazebo.internal.customMessageSupport.compilerValidation

(line 53)

Installed compiler is either invalid or not

supported. Install "Microsoft Visual C++: version >

14.0 ".

Error in gazebogenmsg (line 151)

robotics.gazebo.internal.customMessageSupport.compilerValidation();

Error in custommsg (line 4)

gazebogenmsg(folderPath,"GazeboMessageList",["gazebo.msgs.Joint","gazebo.msgs.Link",...

Indeed, I have installed visual studio 2019 and visual studio build tools,

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

Yun

Hi Yunsik,

You need to select Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 as follows,

>> mex -setup cpp

MEX configured to use 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2017' for C++ language compilation.

To choose a different C++ compiler, select one from the following:

Intel Parallel Studio XE 2018 for C++ with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 mex -setup:F:\....\bin\win64\mexopts\intel_cpp_18_vs2019.xml C++

Intel Parallel Studio XE 2019 for C++ with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 mex -setup:F:....\bin\win64\mexopts\intel_cpp_19_vs2019.xml C++

Intel Parallel Studio XE 2020 for C++ with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 mex -setup:F:\....\bin\win64\mexopts\intel_cpp_20_vs2019.xml C++

MinGW64 Compiler (C++) mex -setup:F:\....\bin\win64\mexopts\mingw64_g++.xml C++

MinGW64 Compiler with Windows 10 SDK or later (C++) mex -setup:F:\....\bin\win64\mexopts\mingw64_g++_sdk10+.xml C++

Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 mex -setup:F:\jobarchive\BR2021bd\2021_06_02_h16m09s57_job1682114_pass\matlab\bin\win64\mexopts\msvcpp2019.xml C++

Renamed options file 'C:\Users\gbhosale\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2021b\mex_C++_win64.xml' to 'C:\Users\gbhosale\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2021b\mex_C++_win64_backup.xml'.

MEX configured to use 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2019' for C++ language compilation.

Select the Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 mex by clicking on highlighted line above.

Then, execute gazebogenmsg(), which shows selected compiler details.

>> gazebogenmsg(pwd,"GazeboMessageList","gazebo.msgs.Any")

Validating ...

Selected compiler details: "Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 16.0"

Building shared library ...

Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.27.29112 for x64

Recheck installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2019.

Thanks.
