Failure to build Fast-DDS on raspberry pi

[Ecuashungo]

Is there an already existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Expected behavior

Install Fast-DDS succesfully on raspberry pi running ubuntu server 64-bit

Current behavior

After successfully installing Fast-CDR and foonathan_memory_vendor and all other dependencies listed on the instructions the build always fails at the same location.
It seems to be an issue with the foonathan_memory_vendor package, which installed succesfully.

Can someone help me with this?

Steps to reproduce

I followed these instructions on a raspberry pi compute module 4 with a fresh install of ubuntu 20.04 server 64-bit.

This was already reported on #1464, and fixed by #1457, which was backported into branch 2.0.x on #1469 (included on v2.0.2)

So you have the following options:

1. Use release v2.0.2 or later if you should use a release from the EOL branch 2.0.x
2. Use a different version of foonathan/memory. I recommend using the dependencies' versions listed on the repos file of the release you are building.

Thanks for the hint.
The problem was that the old installs did not get deleted and therefore even if I used the downloaded binary or the colcon install style it detected the wrongly installed foonathan/memory version.

So to fix that I deleted all folders and installed it from scratch using all the correct versions.
