Error compiling RosAria: error: ‘class ArLaser’ has no member named ‘getCurrentBuffer’; did you mean ‘getCurrentBufferPtr’?

Hello,

After cloning this repo, running cmake in a build folder, trying to build Rosaria returns the following error:

EDIT: Issue happens on Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 18.04

Hi, this should be fixed on a branch ( skasperski-fix-for-ariacoda-rangebuffer-list-type ), I just need to test it with older Aria releases before merging to master. I can try to do that soon if it's holding you up. (Or you can just change that call to getCurrentBufferPtr and also the list provided by ArRangeBuffer has changed to std::list<ArPoseWithTime> instead of std::list<ArPoseWithTime*>).

I've merged the fix into the master branch (from skasperski-fix-for-ariacoda-rangebuffer-list-type). If anyone runs into a problem building, let me know. You may need to use the --force-cmake option to catkin.
