Hello, I am just starting out with Ubuntu and ROS. I followed the example of creating talker from ROSWiki Tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Wri...
But I get the following error
The dependency target "beginner_tutorials_generate_messages_cpp" of target
"talker" does not exist.
Can someone help me out?
Hello,
It is a little difficult to diagnose the issue without having a look at the CMakeLists.txt file, but you can try and check if you have also named your package "beginner_tutorials", as shown in the tutorial. If not, try replacing the
"beginner_tutorials_generate_messages_cpp" with "(your-project-name)_generate_messages_cpp".
Hopefully this will solve your problem.
Also, I would request you to upload your CMakeLists.txt file for better understanding.
This page assumes you have already performed the steps in the prior pages. See the "Note" just under the title of the page you linked.
Have you done the steps listed in the prior pages?
That note points to a backward chain of pages. Your error message indicates you either 1) did not execute one of the steps to prepare your environment, or 2) that you have a typo in your CMakeLists.txt.
generate_messages is needed when you have defined a custom message to send between ros nodes.
