PX4-Autopilot: Fork of the PX4 repository is not building

Hi everyone,

I have a simple problem. When i clone the px4 repository and run make px4_sitl gazebo-classic everything is working fine.

However, when I first fork the repository and then clone and run make px4_sitl gazebo-classic the codebase is no longer building.

The error I am getting is the following:

Error: /src/PX4-Autopilot-Fork/build/px4_sitl_default is not a directory

And in specific, the error begins with:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:129 (list):
  list index: 1 out of range (-1, 0)

To reproduce this bug, you can build using the px4io/px4-dev-ros2-foxy:latest docker container.

Thanks in advance for the guidance on this issue.

Looks like this is present when the fork is of main (without any tags). I was able to get around it by going to my repo and running: git tag v1.14.0-dev From there, build went fine.

Right, or you need to add upstream and fetch the tags, e.g.

git remote add upstream https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot.git
git fetch upstream
git fetch upstream --tags
