I am trying to install VISP ROS and always get an error when trying to run catkin_make

edit

Hello, I am very new to ROS and have been stuck in this problem for a week. Currently trying to Install visp_ros but have not been able to in any way possible.

I am following specifically this tutorial http://docs.ros.org/en/noetic/api/vis... I have tried to both build it from source and from using rosdep and both don't work.

Trying rosdep: Everytime I run:

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro $ROS_DISTRO,

I get the following message:

ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved
to system dependencies:
visp_ros: Cannot locate rosdep definition for [rosidl_default_generators]

Have tried to find something online about how to install rosidl_default_generators but to no avail

So I tried following it building it from source. I have not been able to Build visp_ros package.

I have the visp_ros folder in my catkin_ws/src folder, and every time I run the

catkin_make --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DVISP_DIR=~/software/visp/visp-build

I get the next error:

I have seen other solutions, one of them is to use catkin build instead of catkin_make, and, ignoring the fact that the previous steps tell me to use catkin_make, but I get a similar error:
