Revision history [back]

CATKIN_IGNORE is a bit underdocumented, but the tutorial you link actually seems to contain the answer to your question:

CATKIN_IGNORE         -- Keeps catkin from walking this directory

In other words: a CATKIN_IGNORE file in the build directory makes Catkin (ie: catkin_make, catkin_make_isolated, but also catkin from catkin_tools) ignore that specific directory.

This works for other directories as well.
