Hi,

I am currently trying to create eclipse projects for my cpp nodes in ros fuerte according to this guidelines. Unfortunately the error "ERROR building Eclipse project!" occurs (the whole output is in the quote at the end of this post) if I move to the package directory (via roscd) and type "make eclipse-project" . After that the directory does not contain eclipse project files. The only new file in the package folder is named "cmake_install.cmake". Do you have any suggestions what might have gone wrong?

Thanks & Regards scr

EDIT1: I am using ros fuerte - edited in text above.

EDIT2: I tried to set back the cmake.mk to the electric version by exchanging the following line from the fuerte file:

if ! (cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -Wno-dev . && rm Makefile && rm CMakeCache.txt && rm -rf CMakeFiles); then mv Makefile.ros Makefile && echo "**ERROR building Eclipse project!**" && false; fi

with the following lines of the electric file:

cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -Wno-dev .
rm Makefile
rm CMakeCache.txt
rm -rf CMakeFiles

Unfortunately, the eclipse project files are still not build.

I just wrote a very simple test and it worked for me in ROS Electric. All I did was "roscreate-pkg test" and inside the package folder "make eclipse-project". The project was created successfully. I have used this feature in my own projects as well. Could this be a problem in Fuerte?

Thanks for the replies. Yes I am using ros fuerte (just edited that)! I will try changing the makefile and report back.

I just tried to modify the make file as stated in EDIT2 of the main post. As a result the error message did of course not occur. However, the project files still do not occur in the package folder. Do you have any other ideas what could be wrong?

Not really... I suggest looking into the repository for rosbuild and checking out the revision history, perhaps: https://code.ros.org/svn/ros/stacks/ros/trunk/core/rosbuild

Otherwise, I suggest trying the downgrade to Electric in a virtual machine to test this feature: apparently there was a major update in the build system, and it might actually be broken in Fuerte.

This is the commit log for that change, made by Gerkey himself: https://code.ros.org/gf/project/ros/mailman/?action=ListThreads&mailman_id=3&_forum_action=MessageReply&message_id=88464

What programming language are you working with? Have you installed Eclipse CDT?

Check out the first statement called by make eclipse-project. It is different from what I see in ROS Electric and is exactly what is getting you that error message. I don't know why it changed, but here is the difference.

ROS Electric (works)

mv Makefile Makefile.ros
cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -Wno-dev .

Your version (Fuerte?)

mv Makefile Makefile.ros
if ! (cmake -G"Eclipse CDT4 - Unix Makefiles" -Wno-dev . && rm Makefile && rm CMakeCache.txt && rm -rf CMakeFiles); then mv Makefile.ros Makefile && echo "**ERROR building Eclipse project!**" && false; fi

I just Googled the return value of rm and it seems like it usually returns 0 (as most Linux programs that run successfully anyway), so it makes sense that the condition will evaluate to that error. I would try switching this statement in the Makefile and see what happens.
