Compiling and Running C++ scripts in ROS Indigo

I have written three C++ codes for one server and two clients using C++. Now I want to compile and run these scripts in ROS. I have the beginner_tutorials package as created in the tutorial. I have kept those scripts in the src directory under beginner_tutorials. But after doing catkin_make it is not getting compiled. Moreover, I have to provide command-line arguments while running those programs. I am not sure how to do that also. If anyone can help me with the steps to do it in Ubuntu 14.04. Thank you.

There should be plenty of examples on the wiki. Also, it helps if you are familiar with CMake, as you need to adapt the CMakeLists.txt.

Below a list of links that should answer all your questions:

Passing in command line arguments is done just like for any other C++ program. This also works with rosrun

rosrun my_package my_node my_arg1 ...

Thank you,I have gone through the tutorial once more and edited the CMakeLists.txt. It is working fine with rosrun now.

Please go over ROS beginner tutorials starting from scratch.

Especially, Creating a ROS Package and Building a ROS Package parts will help. You need to set your CMakeLists.txt file to build properly.
