Hi, I cloned a package from Github to my workspace and tried to catkin_make. But apparently, just that folder is being skipped and is not getting compiled. I tried deleting build and devel, nothing worked. No errors are thrown out, just that new folder is not getting compiled. Thanks in advance.
Found out that the package was actually getting compiled but with a different name as compared to the folder name itself because of that different name being tagged in package.xml by the developer, which was not mentioned anywhere. That's the reason I couldn't find the package when I used the folder name, which is normally the case. Thank you for your time.
Glad you got to the bottom of this. It's a good way to learn that the folder names do not necessarily match package names.

Can you describe the structure of your work space and exactly where you have cloned the package to. We don't have enough information to be able to help you.
It's a standard ROS workspace with an src folder holding all the packages. Currently, I have three packages, one created by me and two others cloned from Github. One of the cloned folders in not getting compiled. I guess the structure is fine. Thank you for your response.
We don't do guesses here on ROS Answers.
What is the output of
tree -d -L 1 /path/to/your/workspace(if you get an error, make sure to runsudo apt install treeand try again)?Edit: also:
can you link to the repository? I have a suspicion this is a rosbuild package, which will not be built by Catkin.
I'm sorry, but I'm pretty new to this. Excuse me if my questions are plain basic. I tried the tree to get the workspace structure.
tree: Invalid level, must be greater than 0.is the message I got. This is what I rantree -d -L1 /home/user/workspace. And the repository from which I cloned that package is https://github.com/lrse/ros-keyboardA space was missing between the
Land the1, I've updated the command.
