This is still not working with gazebo8. I was thinking of adding a note to the tutorial with the last version it's been known to work, but if it doesn't work since gazebo6, and the cmake flag is not there on gazebo5, I'm not sure when it worked...

I just tested it with the gazebo6_6.0.0 tag and it compiles. I'm going to try moving through the tags to see when it breaks.

I also got it to compile with the head of the gazebo6 branch:

I have observed linking errors with gazebo7, but gazebo6 seems to be working for me. Can anyone else reproduce this linking error with gazebo6?

Never mind, I did the build wrong...
