Hello,

I am rebuilding my workspace, my one package depend upon other. I deleted build and devel directories and tried to build again but it says "The following CMake error indicates that you either need to install the package with the same name or change your environment so that it can be found"

Although package is in workspace. Any idea how to do that ?

If package1 depends on package2, try this: catkin_make --pkg package2 then catkin_make again. This will first build only package2, and then the entire workspace. It will mean that package2 is already built and can be found by catkin the second time.

Never delete your devel folder!

I got the answer. The package on which my package depend upon is not ros/catkin package. So catkin unable to find it. For building such packages following catkin arguments needs to pass at the first time buidling of catkin workspace.

catkin_make --cmake-args -DUSE_CATKIN=ON
