Gazebo Garden is end of life as of November 2024. I will continue to accept patches to fix build errors, but will focus my efforts on the releases supported by upstream developers.

When building with newer versions of protobuf, you may encounter errors like:

error: cannot convert ‘absl::lts_2
0250512::string_view’ {aka ‘std::basic_string_view<char>’} to ‘const std::string&’ {aka ‘const std::__cxx11::basic_string<char>&’}

      |                                             |                                                                                            
      |                                             absl::lts_20250512::string_view {aka std::basic_string_view<char>}

This occurs due to: The return type change of certain protobuf methods from std::string to absl::string_view/std::string_view

I've created a patch to resolve the build issues.

Additionally, gz-gui7.tag.xml and libGrid3D.so contain reference to $srcdir.

To apply the patch(download manually first) and remove the reference to $srcdir:
