Hello there. I am a beginner in ROS.

I am trying to go through the first tutorial of RVIZ which is sending basic shape. The page is here.

I followed exactly the tutorial with my build package in the path user/catkin_ws/src. I added the file"basic_shapes.cpp" and put it under src folder. I also edited CMAKE file with the two lines from the tutorial page.

add_executable(basic_shapes src/basic_shapes.cpp)
target_link_libraries(basic_shapes ${catkin_LIBRARIES})

When I run "catkin_make", this error shows in the console.

What is the output of: ls -al /home/user/catkin_ws/src/using_markers/src/basic_shapes.cpp?

this is the console output:

-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 4805 May  6 13:53 /home/user/catkin_ws/src/using_markers/src/basic_shapes.cpp

I also tried running the "catkin_make" command again and now the console shows this error:

make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'using_markers/CMakeFiles/basic_shapes.dir/build'.  Stop.
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:437: recipe for target 'using_markers/CMakeFiles/basic_shapes.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [using_markers/CMakeFiles/basic_shapes.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:138: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

any idea of what's going on?

Please show your CMakeLists.txt. Be sure to remove all the boilerplate comments in it. We don't need those.

And add your CMakeLists.txt to the question body. Do not post it here in a comment.

Actually I have found the answer! (Sorry for all the ruckus I made).

My mistakes are:

  1. I didn't properly create my package in catkin_ws/src. I put them in catkin_ws and then moved them into catkin_ws/src folder.

  2. I didn't put the basic_shapes.cpp in the CORRECT SRC folder. I put them inside catkin_ws/src. The correct one is to put inside catkin_ws/src/using_markers/src.

  3. I simply move the files by dragging (cut/paste). When I encountered the error of not finding the basic_shapes.cpp, I just move it inside any folder then redo the catkin_make command. The correct action is to start from fresh with all the components in correct place.

Thanks for everthing!
