compiler cannot locate rosdep for message generation

edit

I've been getting an error about the compiler not being able to locate the messages my package depends on even though I specified them in generate_messages(). I thought it might have to do with some packages not being installed so I used rosdep install and then I entered

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro groovy -y in the command line to check everything. I got an error about an incorrectly named swig-wx package and a message that my package could not have its rosdep keys converted to system dependencies.
