roscd, rospack find work, rosmake fails?
Hey all,
I'm a little stumped on this one. Ubuntu 12.04, ROS groovy, building with rosbuild (porting legacy packages).
I have a package that we've developed that shows up 100% perfectly using a roscd or a rospack find. The problem is, when doing a roslaunch or a rosmake, I get the following errors:
[ rosmake ] rosmake starting...
[ rosmake ] No package or stack specified. And current directory 'track_obj' is not a package name or stack name.
[ rosmake ] Packages requested are: []
[ rosmake ] Logging to directory /home/youbot/.ros/rosmake/rosmake_output-20130715-141430
[ rosmake ] Expanded args [] to:
[]
[ rosmake ] ERROR: No arguments could be parsed into valid package or stack names.
It doesn't matter if I put the package name there, or move to the directory and give it "." it always fails.
My $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH both includes a parent folder and now the actual package folder for good measure.
Why might rospack find work, but rosmake fail?
We're working on some object tracking stuff using OpenCV and so we have some code that works as a standalone C++ project, and also has a ROS wrapper. I'm not sure that part's relevant.
If there are any files I can provide to help diagnose this problem, let me know.
Does the package folder contain a
CATKIN_IGNOREfile? If yes, you have to remove that file.That's it! You should answer for reals so I can give you karma that you can't spend anywhere :-p
Are you doing the rosmake and roslaunch in the correct folder. I think the issue can only pertain to the CATKIN_IGNORE just as Dirk mentioned or if you are doing it in the wrong folder.
