ROS Service in C++ not being built

edit

Hi All,

I am using ROS Kinetic on ubuntu 16.04. I am trying to write a c++ service to send some multi array data on request from the client from server I wrote the following code for that in c++

service definition file : RequestWaypoints.srv

---
int64multiarray waypoints

RequestWaypoints_server.cpp

#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "visualize_waypoints/RequestWaypoints.h"

float waypoints[9][3] = {
              {-6.922, 12.437,-1.315},
              {3.067, -17.730, -1.315},
              {3.067, -17.730, -2.956},
              {-1.645, -19.531,-2.956},
              {-1.645, -19.531,1.892},
              {-12.163, 10.458,1.892},
              {-12.163, 10.458,0.351},
              {-6.922, 12.437,0.351},
              {-6.922, 12.437,-1.315}
            };


bool send_waypoints(visualize_waypoints::RequestWaypoints::Request  &req,
         visualize_waypoints::RequestWaypoints::Response &res)
{
  res.waypoints = waypoints;
  return true;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  ros::init(argc, argv, "RequestWaypoints_server");
  ros::NodeHandle n;

  ros::ServiceServer service = n.advertiseService("RequestWaypoints", send_waypoints);
  ROS_INFO("Waypoints were sent.");
  ros::spin();

  return 0;
}

RequestWaypoints_client.cpp

#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "visualize_waypoints/RequestWaypoints.h"
#include <cstdlib>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  ros::init(argc, argv, "visualize_waypoints_client");

  ros::NodeHandle n;
  ros::ServiceClient client = n.serviceClient<beginner_tutorials::AddTwoInts>("add_two_ints");

  visualize_waypoints::RequestWaypoints srv;
  waypoints = client.call(srv)
  ROS_INFO("Received Waypoints are : %f", (float)srv.response.waypoints);
  return 0;
}

I added following lines of code in Package.xml

  <buildtool_depend>catkin</buildtool_depend>
  <build_depend>roscpp</build_depend>
  <build_depend>rospy</build_depend>
  <build_depend>std_msgs</build_depend>
  <build_depend>message_generation</build_depend>

  <build_export_depend>roscpp</build_export_depend>
  <build_export_depend>rospy</build_export_depend>
  <build_export_depend>std_msgs</build_export_depend>

  <exec_depend>roscpp</exec_depend>
  <exec_depend>rospy</exec_depend>
  <exec_depend>std_msgs</exec_depend>
  <exec_depend>message_runtime</exec_depend>

I added following code in cmakelist.txt file

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  rospy
  std_msgs
  message_generation
)

add_service_files(
   FILES
   RequestWaypoints.srv
 )

generate_messages(
   DEPENDENCIES
   std_msgs
 )
add_executable(RequestWaypoints_server src/scripts/RequestWaypoints_server.cpp)
target_link_libraries(RequestWaypoints_server ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(RequestWaypoints_server RequestWaypoints_gencpp)

add_executable(RequestWaypoints_client src/scripts/RequestWaypoints_client.cpp)
target_link_libraries(RequestWaypoints_client ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(RequestWaypoints_client RequestWaypoints_gencpp)

Once I run catkin_make I get following error
