prerelease overlay fails: catkin_make_isolated not found

edit

Hi there,

I'm currently struggling to run a prerelease-test for a package. Whenever the overlay build is performed, it complains that the command 'catkin_make_isolated' is not found.

My package is a 3rd-party package (plain cmake). I did follow the instructions on http://wiki.ros.org/bloom/Tutorials/R... and http://wiki.ros.org/bloom/Tutorials/F... and the first release as such went well. However, the prerelease-test fails at building the overlay workspace as it is trying to run catkin_make_isolated.

As far as I could follow the error the problem is that is sources my setup.* files inside the package install folder which however is an almost empty dummy file, as my package is no catkin-package. Thus /opt/ros/indigo/setup.* is never sourced and the ros binary folder is not inside the PATH.

My package.xml relevant part looks as follows:

  <buildtool_depend>cmake</buildtool_depend>
  <build_depend>boost</build_depend>
  <run_depend>boost</run_depend>

  <!-- Since this is a plain cmake package we need catkin as a run dependency -->
  <run_depend>catkin</run_depend>

  <!-- The export tag contains other, unspecified, tags -->
  <export>
    <!-- Other tools can request additional information be placed here -->
    <rosdoc config="etc/rosdoc.yaml" />
    <build_type>cmake</build_type>
  </export>

Am I missing something there?

Cheers Felix
