I created a subscriber node "Listener.cpp" in the src folder of the package ardrone_autonomy.

I also modified the CMakeLists.txt file by adding dependency, executable link However, when I go to my catkin workspace and type in "catkin_make",

It builds fine except for something wrong with my new file. What am I missing/ doing wrong?

ERROR shown below:

...
...

Invoking "make" failed

I checked the .cpp file I wrote. I cannot see any multiple definitions of main in the file. There's no other subscriber node named the same way either.

EDIT - As William pointed out, I was trying add the node to the executable of the existing package. However, I added two lines to the end of my Subscriber.cpp file like below:

#adding subscriber's node executable to the end of CMakeLists.txt file - POOJA
add_executable(subscriber src/subscriber.cpp)
target_link_libraries(subscriber ${catkin_LIBRARIES})

And now I'm getting the following errors:

Here is my subscriber code:

// where the MESSAGE= ardrone_autonomy
void ReceiveData(const ardrone_autonomy::Navdata::ConstPtr& rot)

}


//instantiating subscriber

{
    ros::init(argc,argv,"subscriber");
    ros::NodeHandle n;
    ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe("ardrone/navdata",Navdata,ReceiveData);
    ros::spin();

    return 0;
}

It looks like you are trying to link the new listener against the ardrone_autonomy executable, which doesn't really make sense. Please post your full CMakeLists.txt.

Hi... That was indeed the problem. However, after looking around, I've added it to the end of CMakeLists.txt .I'm getting some other errors.

Please do take a look and tell me what I'm doing wrong. I know it's got to do with variable names and scopes but if I get to know where to check,it'd help!

Below Change in subscriber and add all the run and build dependencies in CMakeLists.txt and package.xml

ros::Subscriber sub = n.subscribe("ardrone/navdata",10,ReceiveData); //10 queue size
edit flag offensive delete link more

What changes do I need to make in the package.xml file?

Hi, thanks for the help. I can see that the subscribed messages are displayed when I subscribe to messages now. However, I don't understand what was wrong before.

"Navdata" is something that shouldn't be used for the queue name?

check the subscribe function arguments, (topicname,queuesize,callback). And for CMakeLists.txt and package.xml , i thought you may need to add dependencies but not required here. you can check more here
