colcon build not installing symlink

asked 2022-03-12 10:25:42 -0500

Hello everyone,

I am following the Autoware.Auto installation. From the top: I created a folder adehome. Installed Autoware.Auto in this folder. Installed the ROS2 in this folder. Then, successfully ran colcon build. Then got in the autoware environment through 'ade start' and then 'ade enter'. I ran the following command:

colcon build --symlink-install

and got :

Summary: 0 packages finished [0.11s]

That' s not right. Its supposed to build 16 packages!

I found no solution online. I went into the Autoware and ROS2 folders, and found "COLCON_IGNORE" file in each sub-folders of ROS2. I am aware that when colcon encounters "COLCON_IGNORE" text file, it ignores that folder. But of course I didn't put the there. They've self-generated. When I deleted them, fresh new ones sprung up. I don't know what is going on! How do I get the symlink to install?

thanks for your time in advance.
