#q208679 has the same error message, they were able to debug it with additional catkin output and contents of the package CMakeLists.txt
Please update your question with the entire terminal output. There isn't enough information to figure out what's going on here.
Can you post your
package.xml
andCMakeLists.txt
?i've updated the terminal output, pls check it out
please check the package.xml and CMakeLists.text
Can you please copy and paste those files again using the preformatted text (
101010
) button? The current formatting makes the contents of those files are unreadable. And please remove any comments to shorten the length of them too.i have done that
It looks the same
i reposted the question while trying to effect the change you suggested but its still the same, maybe there is something i'm not getting. i'm new here. what else can i do
See #q270918 for how to use the preformatted text button
it says the page has been deleted
Sorry, #q270916
ok so i tried the post here but it was not working so i reposted the question and it is better. Please check for it
Please don't create a new question just to format your text. Open your
CMakeLists.txt
, copy the text, paste it into the editor here, then highlight the text, then click the preformatted text (101010
) button. Then do the same with yourpackage.xml
file.I've fixed the formatting of the
CMakeLists.txt
, but thepackage.xml
is a wall of text.@dayogeorge: please copy-paste your
package.xml
again into your question, select the text you just pasted, and click on the Preformattext Text button (or usectrl+k
).@dayogeorge: how did you install ROS?
std_msgs
is part of the core of ROS. It would be really strange for it not to be installed.@dayogeorge may you try one trick because that help for me always , save your CMakeList.txt file first then go to your Src directory delete your CMakeList.txt and then use Catkin_make it will help you
@dayogeorge I removed the comments in your
CMakeLists.txt
file so that it's shorter but yourpackage.xml
file is still unreadable. Can you please copy and paste it again? This time please make sure that it's readable (properly indented, etc.).thanks guys. Please check the package,xml now. So how should I proceed? I'm still at step 4 on this page: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Cre...
