I have a problem that appeared overnight. All of my code is on an SVN and used to compile fine. This morning, I started getting this problem when compiling some packages:

[SKIP] No rule to make target None

I did not use the computer for about ten days because I was at a conference, but it was off so no updates were applied since the last time that I used it.

So here is what I tried.

roscreate-pkg foo
rosmake foo

And I got the same problem:

[ rosmake ] rosmake starting...

[ rosmake ] Built 1 packages with 0 failures.

[ rosmake ] /home/robot/.ros/rosmake/rosmake_output-20120918-154406

I then applied all Ubuntu updates for 12.04, including all updates for ROS Fuerte. I created package foo2 and I still have the same problem. In my own packages, it seems like the build starts, but does not finish, because the ROS messages are not generated.

Are the packages in the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH?

Yes, everything is in ROS_PACKAGE_PATH. roscd and rospack find work perfectly. By creating a new package foo, I wanted to ensure that it was not a dependency problem.

In the end, I uninstalled ROS with

sudo apt-get remove ros-fuerte-*
sudo apt-get autoremove ros-fuerte-*

Then, I rebooted, re-installed ROS, and everything is fine again.

Same thing happened to me with a fresh install of groovy. It turned out some nasty stuff actually happened to my environment variables ( file ".bashrc" being damaged). You can check the variable ROS_PACKAGE_PATH is correctly set by running "export" in a terminal. It displays all variables defined.

Hi Benoit, in cases were you migrated (e.g. from diamond/electric to fuerte) you need do ensure that your CMakeFiles/Caches and co are removed. They contain paths to the used ROS-Version, i.e. paths to older versions which are not any longer available on your system.

Try rosmake --pre-clean or even better inside the package in question try rm -r CMakeFiles cmake_install.cmake CMakeCache.txt && rosmake

Yes, I already tried that, but in vain. My installation of Ubuntu 12.04 is recent and it only ever had ROS Fuerte.
