Error when trying to build turtlebot3 packages using ROS for Windows

edit

Hello,

I have successfully (I think!) installed ROS Melodic on Windows (Windows 10 version 1909 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition), following the instructions provided here. I have used catkin_make to create a catkin workspace as per the ROS Tutorial, so I believe the installation has been successful.

I am now trying to build the turtlebot3 packages so that I can start working with them in RViz and Gazebo to begin with. I've followed the Robotis "TurtleBot3 Setup Guide" but run into an error when running catkin_make (see below). I'm not sure how to diagnose this really, so am looking for any advice on where to start... can anyone suggest any likely causes, or point me in the right direction of what the problem might be?

Many thanks,

Tom
