Instructions.md

Install ROS 1 (Noetic) on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy)

In general, follow these instructions: http://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installation/Source

You will find these errors, though:

Problem 1

Problem: hddtemp is not found as a rosdep. Solution:

Instead of:

rosdep install --from-paths ./src --ignore-packages-from-source --rosdistro noetic -y

Run:

rosdep install --from-paths ./src --ignore-packages-from-source --rosdistro noetic -y --skip-keys hddtemp

Problem 2

Problem: While compiling, you will find an error due to too-modern log4cxx library:

Solution: Use the branch https://github.com/twdragon/rosconsole/tree/log4cxx-0.12 for rosconsole:

# Go to the workspace where you are building ROS 1 Noetic:
cd ~/catkin_ws/
cd src/

# Switch branch:
rm -fr rosconsole
git clone https://github.com/twdragon/rosconsole
git checkout log4cxx-0.12

Solved!
