3rd time getting stuck at "Building a ROS Package"
Before I get to this section if I do a:
echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
i get two paths:
/home/ju78iklo9/catkin_ws/src:/opt/ros/kinetic/share
But
By the time I get to Building a ROS Package and work down to:
catkin_make
I get the following output (for three complete beginning to here retries):
Base path://home/ju78iklo9/catkin_ws
Source space: //home/ju78iklo9/catkin_ws/src
The specified base path //home/ju78iklo9/catkin_ws contains a CMakeLists.txt but catkin_make must be invoked in the root of workspace
I have a killer ROS robot design but now I find myself repeating the same elementary ROS learning steps.
Now, again, for the 4th time (due to lab distractions)
Any help is appreciated as the non-industrial robot I intend to help design & build, although it would not likely be used at Starbucks to serve drinks, would likely help ROS (& community organizations) become a household name.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Note: The only path result I get after I get to Building Your Package and entering
echo $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH
is:
/opt/ros/kinetic/share
I don't quite understand your question, but perhaps this will help: #q221538.
Are you referring to the "official" Building a ROS Package tutorial?
I agree with @clyde. What exactly is the question? There's a lot going on here but no clear question.
Also, what directory are you running
catkin_make
from? It needs to be in the root of your catkin workspace, i.e.,~/ju78iklo9/catkin_ws
and it shouldn't.
Check to make sure there is one. If there is, how did it get there?
@ju78iklo9: As @gvdhoorn pointed out, the root of your workspace should not contain a CMakeLists.txt. You may want to recreate your workspace following the tutorials.
