I am getting errors when I type make.
Use rosmake. It first builds all the package's dependencies, then builds the package itself.
E.g., to build the rviz package:
rosmake rviz
You can do this from anywhere. Alternatively, you can go to the package directory, then run rosmake with no arguments:
roscd rviz
rosmake
Packages have two kinds of dependencies: system dependencies, and other ROS packages.
For the system dependencies, you may need to run (for example):
rosdep install rviz
For the ROS package dependencies, run:
rosmake rviz
After you know the dependencies are up to date, then it's OK to run make
in the package directory. That is faster during active package development.
Also for package dependencies, especially those downloaded packages, its is useful to run
rosmake <package_name> --rosdep-install
Which then tries the much it can to fix dependencies based on the rosdep.yaml files
