I am following the tutorials for Markers :sending basic shapes. I am stuck at this step, where it says build the code using command cd %TOP_DIR_YOUR_CATKIN_WORKSPACE% catkin_make

Please help.

This part of the tutorial means you need to use a terminal to navigate to the top level directory of your workspace then run catkin_make

For example if you have a workspace directory called my_project_ws inside your home directory you can open a terminal and type the following command to move to the workspace.

cd ~/my_project_ws

If you type the ls command (short for list) it will show the contents of this directory which should contain a src directory and possibly some other directories and files. Now you're in the right location you can build your package by typing:

catkin_make

Hope this clears this up for you.

Okay you've got the build working that's great. To keep these answers tidy can you please accept this answer and ask a new question for the warning you've just described. It gets confusing if more than one question get asked and answered in a single thread. Thanks.

Looking at the source code of the node. The message [WARN] Please create a subscriber to the marker isn't an error at all it's what the node is meant to do. try starting RVIZ and viewing the topic, that should show everything working.

I'm exactly at this point, but I'm not able to use catkin_make. The error shows

The specified base path "/home/xxxxxxxx/using_markers" contains a package but "catkin_make" must be invoked in the root of workspace

home/using_makers/

inside using_makers package, there is src, include, CMakeLists.txt and Package.xml

ROS: Noetic
