I am following the rviz tutorials on ROS wiki The basic shapes tutorial

Whenever I do the catkin_make in the folder I have made with the command

catkin_create_pkg using_markers roscpp visualization_msgs

it gives me the following error. What should I do?

 The specified base path "/home/asfandyar/using_markers" contains a CMakeLists.txt but "catkin_make" must be invoked in the root of workspace

I tried moving the CMakeLists.txt to the src folder and then I used catkin_make and it gave me the following error.

 CMake Error at /opt/ros/groovy/share/catkin/cmake/catkin_package.cmake:314 (message):
      catkin_package() include dir 'include' is neither an absolute directory nor
      exists relative to '/home/asfandyar/using_markers1/src'
    Call Stack (most recent call first):
      /opt/ros/groovy/share/catkin/cmake/catkin_package.cmake:98 (_catkin_package)
      CMakeLists.txt:50 (catkin_package)


    -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
    Invoking "cmake" failed

What should I do?

I figured it out. I moved the CMakeList.txt to the src file and I made an install folder there. This is a simple hack and I would not recommend this, but it worked for me.

Because you should create your package in your src folder.

More simply, after you create your catkin workspace, (Let's say catkin_ws) go to your src folder

cd /home/$USER/catkin_ws/src

Then create your package

catkin_create_pkg using_markers roscpp visualization_msgs

after that you need to do catkin_make in your catkin_ws.

cd /home/$USER/catkin_ws
catkin_make

Then go to the devel and run the setup.bash

 cd /home/$USER/catkin_ws/devel
 . setup.bash
