Revision history [back]

Probably a bug. I think catkin_make uses a flawed heuristics relying on the default folder layout to decide whether the user managed to invoke catkin_make in the correct folder. This may change anyway as soon as catkin_make is changed to work from anywhere under the catkin root workspace folder, but I still created a bug report.
