pinocchio-config.cmake

[SPoof-oss]

I use ubnutu20.04 and 22.04 both ihui get the following error: tg@tg:~/placo/build$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package):
By not providing "Findpinocchio.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"pinocchio", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "pinocchio" with
any of the following names:

pinocchioConfig.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "pinocchio" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"pinocchio_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"pinocchio" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.

Hello,

I am sorry I missed this issue and lagged in answering
You need to install Pinocchio, which is available through apt by adding the robotpkg repository

This is now automated with scripts/requirements.sh in this repository

For curiosity, do you need to build placo from sources? You can also use Python wheels (pip install placo) which should support many systems and architectures now

For reference, I have an external repo with GitHub actions to test the build-from-sources, the following contains a comprehensive list of actions needed:
https://github.com/Gregwar/placo-test/blob/main/.github/workflows/build.yml

(Editing environment variables is not needed in practice, since the requirements script will add them to your bashrc, which doesn't affect GitHub actions env)

Here is the result of a recent run

Hope this helps
