Ubuntu 22 compile issue with QVTKWidget

[natalieCloud]

As title states, I'm attempting to compile Noether on Ubuntu 22.04 for use with ROS Humble. I'm building from my own fork which is based on @marrts latest humble-devel branch. I don't think my issue is related to the changes from these branches.

Following #189, I resolved most of my issues such as the libxmlrpcpp dependency via:
sudo apt-get install libxmlrpcpp-dev

Current Issue

When building, I'm missing a dependency to <QVTKWidget.h>. I have version's Qt 5.15.3 and VTK 9.1 installed.

I think this is a simple missing dependency, but haven't been able to find it. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

I have no experience with VTK, but a quick search shows QVTKWidget was depreciated for VTK 8.1 and a new class, QVTKOpenGLWidget was created. Looking at the class reference, it might just be a name change? Ref nightly build docs here.

From what I can tell so far that may be the case?

By reverting some of the changes @marrts made to their humble devel branch I was able to compile Noether on Ubuntu 20.04 with ROS Foxy (Pushed on my fork)!

However, the changes I needed to make further lead me to believe there may be a versioning issue with the switch from VTK 7.1 to 9.1. Unfortunately though, when I tried to implement fixes I ran into even more deprecation and versioning issues.

Was wondering if anyone else had any experience with/insight on this! Thank you again!

Could you please try to rebase your changes onto @marrts
humble-devel branch? It builds for me in humble, and has the fixes for the noether_filtering build errors.

I am running into this same issue when rebasing on the latest changes of noether. It should be fixed now in my latest humble-devel branch,

That worked! Thank you so much!!!
