tf_conversions does not compile under noetic + bionic due python3-pykdl dependency about geometry HOT 5 OPEN

Actually since writing this I managed to get it to build without a container. But the container solution would effectively be running 20.04 in a container. There are pre-built containers here which seem like the best solution.

In terms of building outside of a container I ran
rosdep install --from-paths ./src --ignore-packages-from-source --rosdistro noetic -y -r
Notice "-r" which continues installing dependencies despite failures. When I went to build the noetic stack, it seems to build pykdl from source bypassing the issue (I think) and builds fine. But I haven't tested running code so I could be giving the wrong advice.

Same issue - any workarounds?

Same issue. Any lead is appreciated!

same issue. Currently the only solution I see available is to build within a docker container.

@schmittlema Could you explain us how you are building it inside the container, if the issue is the dependency. We are also trying to build it within the docker, but we are not successful.

Thank you,
