rosrun Error even when package compiles successfully

edit

Hey dornhege, here are your answers: 1) This is the output when I say make

mkdir -p bin
cd build && cmake -Wdev -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=`rospack find rosbuild`/rostoolchain.cmake  ..

2) This is the CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)
include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake)

rosbuild_init()

#set the default path for built executables to the "bin" directory
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
#set the default path for built libraries to the "lib" directory
set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)

set(ABB_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/../../ABBInterpreter)


ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
 OUTPUT libABBInterpreter.a
 COMMAND make -C ${ABB_PATH}
 DEPENDS ${ABB_PATH}/lib/libABBInterpreter.a
 )

ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET(makeABBLIB ALL DEPENDS libABBInterpreter.a)

#common commands for building c++ executables and libraries
#rosbuild_add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} src/example.cpp)
#target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} another_library)
#rosbuild_add_boost_directories()
#rosbuild_link_boost(${PROJECT_NAME} thread)
#rosbuild_add_executable(example examples/example.cpp)
#target_link_libraries(example ${PROJECT_NAME})

include_directories(${ABB_PATH}/include)
link_directories(${ABB_PATH}/lib)

rosbuild_add_executable(robot_node src/robot_node.cpp)
target_link_libraries(robot_node -lABBInterpreter)

3) I checked the bin/ folder of the robot_node package. There seems to be nothing in it.

Question: How can I comment on your answer on this forum? It would be much easier than just creating a new answer altogether. Thanks!
