Could not find a configuration file for package "urdfdom_headers" that is compatible with requested version "".

I currently tried to install DART on windows 10 .
I followed the guide all the way through, using fresh new vcpkg and install all dependencies.

However, things stack on the configure process of cmake.

It always jumped out following message.

Could not find a configuration file for package "urdfdom_headers" that is
  compatible with requested version "".

  The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

    F:/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows/share/urdfdom_headers/urdfdom_headers-config.cmake, version: 1.0.4 (64bit)`

Which i think it's reason to cause following generate failure if above warning is negelectd

CMake Error in dart/utils/urdf/CMakeLists.txt:
  Imported target "urdfdom" includes non-existent path

    "/include"

  in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.

I really confused, if there's no requested verison ,why not accepted?

I could reproduce this on the CI build test. Let me take a look this.

Cool, waiting for your reply

The root cause of the error is that urdfdom_INCLUDE_DIRS includes /include that is generated by the urdfdom-config.cmake.in as you described in the post. I'm not sure if this an issue of urdfdom itself or the vcpkg package. What DART can do would be excluding /include from urdfdom_INCLUDE_DIRS (or any path begin with /), but it might lead to compilation errors because tinyxml headers are required to build with urdfdom.

I think this should be fixed either by the upstream or in the vcpkg package. But, unfortunately, we currently don't have the resources to fix dependency packages to support Windows at the moment. I've tried to fix this issue within DART but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Please consider using DART on other supported platforms.

Ok,thank you anyway

Now i find the problem.

It dues to the config file urdfdom-config.cmake in vcpkg-2020.01\installed\x64-windows\share\urdfdom.

The 4th line should be corrected to
set(urdfdom_INCLUDE_DIRS "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../../include" )

Thank you for looking into the problem. It sounds like the tinyxml location is different when urdfdom is built and DART is built. A potential fix would be change line 4 of urdfdom-config.cmake.in to use find_dependency() so that tinyxml is always correctly found when urdfdom-config.cmake is loaded.

Closing as it looks like this issue should be fixed by urdfdom.
