The error is:

/home/ira/code/ros_groovy/src/sam_semantic_map_builder_dir/src/sam_semantic_map_builder_src.cpp:2:55: fatal error: sam_semantic_map_builder_dir/srv_add_file.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I run:

catkin_create_pkg sam_semantic_map_builder_dir pcl pcl_ros roscpp sensor_msgs
roscd sam_semantic_map_builder_dir
mkdir -p srv

vim srv/srv_add_file.srv

string msg_object_name
---
float32 msg_x
float32 msg_y
float32 msg_z
float32 msg_roll
float32 msg_pitch
float32 msg_yaw

vim src/sam_semantic_map_builder_src.cpp

#include <ros/ros.h>
#include <sam_semantic_map_builder_dir/srv_add_file.h>
...

What am I missing?

You are missing 2 things:

1) In addition to add_service_files you need to call generate_messages (Typically just decomment this in the default generated CMakeLists.txt):

## Generate added messages and services with any dependencies listed here
generate_messages(
  DEPENDENCIES
  std_msgs  # and/or other packages containing depended messages
)

If you added this your code will compile 'most of the times'. However, the srv headers need to be compiled before your exec target and the order of command evaluation is not yet fixed. In order to fix the order you add:

2)

add_dependencies( sam_semantic_map_builder_bin ${PROJECT_NAME}_generate_messages_cpp )

after add_executable. This makes your exec depending on the <>generate_messages_cpp thereby only allowing the exec target to be compiled after the msg headers are generated............
