Getting error while using cmake command?

I created rosbuild workspace (mywork) and a package (test) within it.

I was trying to build the package using cmake command

[rosbuild] Building package test
[rosbuild] Error from directory check: /opt/ros/groovy/share/ros/core/rosbuild/bin/check_same_directories.py  /home/admin-pc/mywork/test

With multiple hit and trial I found the solution that is to use command
source ~/mywork/setup.bash
but I need to use this in every new terminal. Please tell the solution.

I think the only solution is to either add that line ("source ~/mywork/setup.bash") in your ~/.bashrc file, so that it gets executed for each new shell, or to manually source it in all terminals where you want to use your workspace.

The solution depends on how you generated your rosbuild workspace. This page contains all the info you need. But I'll summarise below.

If you created your rosbuild workspace with rosws then add to your ~/.bashrc the following line:

source $HOME/mywork/setup.bash

When going down this route make sure you called rosws after having sourced the setup.bash from your catkin devel directory (assuming you're mixing catkin and rosbuild). See the link above for more information.

Alternatively, if you want to set your workspace the "traditional" (pre-groovy) way, then append the following to ~/.bashrc:

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=$HOME/mywork:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

This simply adds your rosbuild workspace to ROS's package path (which incidentally is what the error above was trying to tell you to do :P ).
