Hi, I got face recognition tutorial on ros wiki page:

www.ros.org/wiki/face_recognition

but i can't build it. I tried to build the workspace using catkin_make and rosmake. I use the command "catkin-make" in the face_recognition workaspace but it already contains a CMakeLists.txt so the command doesn't work. I also tried the "rosmake face_recognition" but I have this error "ERROR: No arguments could be parsed into valid package or stack names." despite the fact that there is a "stack.xml" file in the folder.

Can somebody help me please? Thank you

This is a rosbuild/rosmake package, so don't try to build it with catkin. The code hasn't been touched for the last two years it seems, so not sure if you can make it work easily.

Please make sure the stack is contained in your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable.

What does env | grep -i ROS output?

Edit:

To add your folder to ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, you need to exectue export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/path/to/your/folder/containing/face/recognition:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH after the source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash command. You can either do this directly in the terminal, or add it to your .bashrc file.

The output is : ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/hydro/share/ros ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/hydro/share:/opt/ros/hydro/stacks ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/ros/hydro/lib CPATH=/opt/ros/hydro/include PATH=/opt/ros/hydro/bin:/usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games PWD=/opt/ros/hydro/lib/gscam ROSLISP_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES= ROS_DISTRO=hydro PYTHONPATH=/opt/ros/hydro/lib/python2.7/dist-packages PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/ros/hydro/lib/pkgconfig CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/ros/hydro ROS_ETC_DIR=/opt/ros/hydro/etc/ros OLDPWD=/opt/ros/hydro The stack is not in my ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. How can I add it?

Thank you, It works. But if I do a "source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash", the path is cleaned so I have to do it again. Is there a way to change definitly the path?

put both commands in your `.bashrc`

I add those lines to my '.bashrc' but it doesn't work. "source /opt/ros/hydro/setup.bash export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/procrob_functional-master:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH"

Have you opened a fresh terminal afterwards?

I just forgot to source the file before testing. It's fine now
