Installing ROS.jl error

Hi, I’m trying to install ROS.jl.
After adding the package using pkg> add ROS and calling using ROS, I get the following error:

I tried to install the Cxx.jl package separately and then build the ROS.jl again but I still get the same error.

can someone help me?
thanks in ahead

Which Julia version do you use?

I think Cxx.jl does not work with Julia 1.7.

Please, note that Cxx.jl only works (out of the box) currently with Julia 1.1.x to 1.3.x, i.e. with no currently supported Julia, while those versions can still be downloaded at Julialang.org.

So just install Julia 1.3 …

You can use different versions of Julia per project with the help of GitHub - johnnychen94/jill.py: A cross-platform installer for the Julia programming language

thank you for the quick reply, I do use julia 1.7.
I’ll change to 1.3 as you advised.

I don’t think you can use Cxx.jl on Windows regardless of the Julia version.
