Building humble branch failed: Could not find a package configuration file provided by "gps_msgs" with any of the following names: gps_msgsConfig.cmake gps_msgs-config.cmake

[Erika1kuta]

Describe the bug
I built the humble branch and encountered this issue, which indicates that I lack gps_msgs, is this a dependency? Do I need additional installation or a bug in my system? Because I am using Ubuntu 20 Focal (not Jammy, because I also need ROS 1 on my PC), Humble is built from the source code. Looking forward to your reply. Many thanks.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:14 (find_package):
  By not providing "Findgps_msgs.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "gps_msgs",
  but CMake did not find one.

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

    gps_msgsConfig.cmake
    gps_msgs-config.cmake

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

@Erika1kuta
I had the same issue and by Installing binary package the gps_msg will be added.
sudo apt install ros-humble-novatel-oem7-driver
then build again.

Hello @Erika1kuta, thank you for your question.

As I notice from your terminal, you are missing the gps_msgs package which is a dependency for our driver.
Please try installing the binary package for our driver first and then build it again.

To install binary package : sudo apt install ros-humble-novatel-oem7-driver
