STILL ERROR: "No such file" error during catkin_make with ROS Melodic

[RDaneelOlivav]

This issue was considered closed:

But its not working. The catkin_make triggers this error all the time. Any idea on how to fix the import error of those .h generated for the messages? Becuase I tested creating a dummy binary thta includes those messages inside the same package, and worked , so it seems its a dependency issue of the packages that use these messages.

Have the same error and found a quick solution to use catkin_make_isolated

[adamkrawczyk]

okay, here is a better solution not forcing to use catkin_make_isolated

1. cd <ros_ws>
2. catkin_make --only-pkg-with-deps exploration_msgs
3. catkin_make -DCATKIN_WHITELIST_PACKAGES=""

then you can use normally catkin make these forces to build first exploration_msgs project then the rest is compiled

[ZuyuanZhu]

catkin_make -DCATKIN_WHITELIST_PACKAGES=""

I got the following errors after trying your step 3 catkin_make -DCATKIN_WHITELIST_PACKAGES="". And I got the same error if I continue with catkin_make.

Then I used a new workspace, installed the ROS pakage of navigation_msgs and navigation. Next, I followed the method you mentioned, it worked finally!
