I have 2 nodes/files(one node for each file) in my package. It's like in talker and listener tutorial. However, after adding a new one (second node/file), I received an error of "multiple definition of `main'". I've check all the braces, they are well-placed.

What could be the possible culprits?

I just forgot to change the node name in the "rosbuild_add_executable" parameter in the CMakeList.txt. I only added the different name for both of them, but not the node name.

My first guess would be that there are two main functions in your .cpp file. You're only allowed one main per C++ executable. So if you're trying to build one executable with two nodes in it, it won't work.

@DimitriProsser: Thanks for trying. But, I have only one main per source file (In total I have 2 mains, but they are separated by those 2 files). That is not the case. Strange behavior though.

Are you trying to build two source files into a single executable?

@DimitriProsser: It's just fixed, into 2 executables anyway. Thanks a lot.
