I'm following the Gazebo ROS control tutorial and the following command is creating issues for me.
catkin_create_pkg MYROBOT_control ros_control ros_controllers
I understand that ros_control and ros_controllers are metapackages, but how can I make a the necessary control package that depends on the packages in the dependencies?
Thanks
UPDATE
I want to know how I can add the necessary dependencies if I can't use the metapackages as dependencies as listed in the tutorial.
Looking at the tutorial you referred to, IMO your question is valid. I've suggested a possible fix. You must pass explicit dependencies.
Not sure if I understand your question correctly but if you're asking if it's possible for your_package to depend on metapackages, yes, and your_package can include all direct dependency defined in a metapackage as well as transitive ones no normal catkin package cannot depend on metapackages (ref. REP-0127).
Only metapackages can depend on other metapackages.
E.g. ros-kinetic-desktop-full, which is a metapackage that includes standard packages, depends on another metapackage ros-kinetic-desktop, which depends on another metapackages.
I'm not entirely sure what you're writing here, but two comments:
