Cmake Error when installing
Hey guys I am attemping to source and install a autonomous navigating robot project built on ros indigo and found at this link
https://github.com/sungjik/my_personal_robotic_companion
I follow the following instructions to install and source into a catkin ws.
cd ~
mkdir -p catkin_ws/src
Then check out the package into it:
cd ~/catkinws/src git clone https://github.com/sungjik/mypersonalroboticcompanion.git
Install dependencies:
cd ~/catkin_ws rosdep install --from-paths src -i -y
(If rosdep still reports missing dependencies, check their source out into your workspace too)
And finally, build and source your workspace:
cd ~/catkinws catkinmake source devel/setup.bash
As soon as I run catkinmake its working for a few seconds then near the end I get the following error - +++ processing catkin package: 'mypersonalroboticcompanion' -- ==> addsubdirectory(mypersonalroboticcompanion/mypersonalroboticcompanion) -- Using these message generators: gencpp;genlisp;genpy CMake Error at /opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/cmake/catkinpackage.cmake:296 (message): catkinpackage() include dir 'include' does not exist relative to '/home/kuljot/catkinws/src/mypersonalroboticcompanion/mypersonalroboticcompanion' Call Stack (most recent call first): /opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/cmake/catkinpackage.cmake:98 (catkinpackage) mypersonalroboticcompanion/mypersonalroboticcompanion/CMakeLists.txt:86 (catkinpackage)

The link to the cmakelists.txt fille is below
Can someone please help me debug what is wrong. I know other people online have been able to launch this project but I have no way of contacting them to see if they had to fix any issues with this.
Thanks!!

The catkin_package call at https://github.com/sungjik/my_personal_robotic_companion/blob/eccc191db284954f72a2ca5954a5950e7d2509a8/my_personal_robotic_companion/CMakeLists.txt#L86-L91 specifies that the include directory should be exported to downstream packages, and the cmake error is telling you that that directory does not exist.
You could either try to delete the line that references the include directory from the CMakeLists, or you could create an empty include directory inside the my_personal_robotic_companion package.

Thank you that worked. I have one more small issue. Everything launches perfectly one. Then when I try to launch it again it acts like my_personal_robotic_companion is not installed using rospack find command. Randomly it works and randomly it think I dont have the package installed. Any thoughts?

Each time you open a new shell (terminal) you need to source your workspace again. You can also add the source command to your ~/.bashrc so that it runs for each new shell.
