Unable to get any msgs/srvs to work in CMakeLists [closed]

I am trying to build a controller node for a robot in ROS2 foxy and CMake is kicking my ass. When I try to add a library none of the msgs/srvs work either my custom one or a built in such as std_msgs

Here is the type of error I get from the console, it's pretty much the same for all the msgs/srvs:

colcon build --packages-select legged_robot_controller
Starting >>> legged_robot_controller
--- stderr: legged_robot_controller

Summary: 0 packages finished [6.01s]
  1 package failed: legged_robot_controller
  1 package had stderr output: legged_robot_controller

Here is my CMakeLists:

find_package(ament_cmake REQUIRED)

find_package(geometry_msgs REQUIRED)
find_package(sensor_msgs REQUIRED)
find_package(std_msgs REQUIRED)
find_package(std_srvs REQUIRED)
find_package(nav_msgs REQUIRED)
find_package(legged_robot_msgs REQUIRED)
find_package(tf2_ros REQUIRED)
find_package(dynamixel_sdk REQUIRED)

add_library( control src/control.cpp )
ament_target_dependencies( control
        rclcpp
        tf2_ros
        std_srvs
        std_msgs
        geometry_msgs
        nav_msgs
        sensor_msgs
        legged_robot_msgs_generate_messages_cpp
        )

include_directories(
        include/${PROJECT_NAME}
)

install(DIRECTORY include/${PROJECT_NAME}
        DESTINATION include/${PROJECT_NAME}
        )

ament_export_include_directories(include)
ament_export_dependencies(rclcpp geometry_msgs sensor_msgs std_srvs std_msgs legged_robot_msgs 

tf2_ros)

ament_package()

I've spent that last day or so trying to figure it out on my own to no avail, I apologize if I'm doing something stupid I'm new to ROS and don't have a whole lot of C++ experience.

In ROS2's rclcpp, the names of the header files for message, service, and action definitions are lowercase separated by underscores. For Empty.srv, try including it using:

#include <std_srvs/srv/empty.hpp>

thanks schornak, that did it now I just need to figure out why my custom msgs aren't generating a .hpp EDIT: they are being generated I'm guessing I need to point CMake to the install folder?

I'd suggest posting a new question with some details (CMakeLists.txt, etc.) about the package where your custom msgs are defined and generated.

I figured it out, my cmake was fine my includes were pointing to the actual msg name not the name of the generated .hpp. I figured I'd just add that here for continuity.

I think your include statement should be #include <std_srvs/Empty.h>.

EDIT: But this is ROS1 and I guess ROS2 is different?
