Installation issue with panda_simulator #18

Closed zyq476916822 closed 3 years ago

zyq476916822 commented 3 years ago

As required, I git clone panda_simulator, franka_panda_description, franka_ros_interface and orocos_kinematics_dynamics from github web pages into my workspace. When I catkin_make my workspace, there's an error shown as below,

at /opt/ros/melodic/share/catkin/cmake/catkin_workspace.cmake:100 (message): This workspace contains non-catkin packages in it, and catkin cannot build a non-homogeneous workspace without isolation. Try the 'catkin_make_isolated' command instead. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:69 (catkin_workspace)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/home/george/ws_franka/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". See also "/home/george/ws_franka/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log". Invoking "cmake" failed

I am not sure how to figure this out. Hopefully, this can be explained.

Please use catkin build instead of catkin_make to build your workspace. You might have to do a clean build if you used catkin_make before. To ensure you are using the right versions of franka_ros_interface and orocos_kinematics_dynamics, use the dependencies.rosinstall file to clone the required packages (follow instructions in readme).
