I have Built ROS2 on Linux with Eclipse but in the end when i build the project there are errors :

Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "/home/aakash/ros2_ws/src/ament/ament_tools/scripts/ament.py", line 161, in <module>

It appears that you copied the content of the pendulum_msgs package into the demos/demo_nodes_msgs folder, but you didn't modify the package name.

In ROS (1 or 2), packages should be unique.

To do so the name in the package.xml as well as the project name in the CMakeLists.txt need to be modified to use a new unique package name after being copied.

HTH,

changed the package. Now when i try to build the project, nothing happens but on the console it says : CDT Global Build Console I guess i havnt configured something correctly as my functions for the rclcpp library are not getting resolved

I have another question regarding installation. In the installation guide, it says Close eclipse-IDE and open it from the shell we sourced all the above scripts But if i try to write eclipse on the shell, it says eclipse npt installed. and thus i reopen it again by clicking on the icon.

To set the environment variables, it says env>/tmp/out and then source the local_setup.bash but the fact is that local_setup.bash file is in the install folder which is generated once we build the project. How can i source the local_setup file if there isnt one ? @marguedas

Enter the full path on console to where eclipse is located, e.g. run "/home/user/eclipse/eclipse&". If you enter the environemnt variables which you get with the "diff /tmp/out /tmp/out1" command into eclipse, then you should not need to start eclipse from console again.
