Hello, my name is Kaori Furuike.

I have a question about "10. Creating msg and srv" in beginner level tutorials. ( http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Cre... ) It tells us to make sure we export the message runtime dependency.

catkin_package(
  ...
  CATKIN_DEPENDS message_runtime ...
  ...)

But there is no statement like "CATKIN_DEPENDS message_runtime ..." in my catkin_package. And when I run without such a statement, I got this error message.

"Unable to load msg [beginner_tutorials/Num]: Cannot locate message [Num]: unknown package [beginner_tutorials] on search path [{'rosconsole': ['/opt/ros/hydro/share/rosconsole/msg'], ..."

Would you tell me what is (or what shold be) written in catkin_package at beginner_tutorials/CMakeLists.txt ?

Thank you.

Sorry for my late reply. And thank you for your help. I finally succeeded to build this program. catkin_package( CATKIN_DEPENDS message_runtime } was enough actually in this case. But I did not understand what catkin_package was, so the HP was very helpful.

if you follow the tutorial step by step, then you may want this

catkin_package(
     INCLUDE_DIRS include
     LIBRARIES beginner_tutorials
     CATKIN_DEPENDS std_msgs
     CATKIN_DEPENDS rospy
     CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp
     DEPENDS system_lib)

Multiple CATKIN_DEPENDS may not work correctly.

You should merge those, so it reads: CATKIN_DEPENDS std_msgs rospy roscpp.
