trying to build the simple\_demo example in ignition-rendering has given me compile errors.

For reference here’s the link: [gz-rendering/examples/simple\_demo at ign-rendering5 · gazebosim/gz-rendering · GitHub](https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-rendering/tree/ign-rendering5/examples/simple_demo)

```auto
home/ddeng/ign_rendering_ws/src/ign-rendering/examples/simple_demo/Main.cc:30:10: fatal error: ignition/common/Console.hh: No such file or directory
 #include <ignition/common/Console.hh>
          ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/simple_demo.dir/build.make:63: CMakeFiles/simple_demo.dir/Main.cc.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:76: CMakeFiles/simple_demo.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:84: all] Error 2

```

This all signifies that I’m missing ign-common. However, if I use the colcon build method with all the ignition dependencies in the src folder, I am unable to find the binaries for it - it looks like it wasn’t built at all. Is there any way to get the examples to build correctly? Preferably with the `colcon build` manner of building.
