【microros】解决 microros安装过程中的 undefined reference to `fmt::v6 问题

问题

在 ubuntu-20 arm 开发板上根据官方文档手动编译安装 microros 过程中，执行 ros2 run micro_ros_setup build_agent.sh 命令时，遇到了 undefined reference to fmt::v6 的问题，大概报错如下：

Your branch is up to date with 'origin/foxy'.
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved

解决方案

经过摸索，在执行 ros2 run micro_ros_setup build_agent.sh 命令之前从源码编译安装一个 6.x 版本的 fmt 库即可，具体步骤如下：

1. 如果已经遇到该错误，可以先清除 micro_ros_agent 的编译安装缓存

cd ~/microros_ws
rm -r build/micro_ros_agent
rm -r install/micro_ros_agent

2. 从源码编译安装 fmt-6.x，我在 ubuntu-20 系统上编译安装的是 fmt-6.1.2

wget https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/archive/refs/tags/6.1.2.zip
unzip 6.1.2.zip
cd fmt-6.1.2
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make -j4
sudo make install

3. 继续编译 micro_ros_agent

ros2 run micro_ros_setup build_agent.sh
source install/local_setup.bash
