ROS says it can't find any executable file

I made a .cpp executable and put it in the src folder and modified the make file to add executable as in the tutorial, but when I run the launch file it runs the node but then exits because it says it didn't find the executable file. I don't know if there have to be more changes to the make file or if the problem lies someplace else. Im running ROS indigo. Thank you

Have you used ´catkin_make´ afterwards?

yes, I ran catkin_make and ran the launch file and it starts normally and opens the node, but because it says it doesn't find any executable in the src folder it exits, but it is there.

maybe 

source ./devel/setup.bash

in your catkin

Please provide more information:

  • How did you create an executable file and why are you putting it in src folder? I am guessing you are referring to a simple .cpp source file, and not a real .exe file.
  • Which tutorial are you referring to?
  • Can you provide your CMakeLists.txt file?
