catkin_make not working when called from Roboware

[alberto-tellaeche]

Hi all; I have installed the latest Roboware version available (1.1.0), as a new IDE for ROS. Seems to detect my workspace and everything works just fine, except:

1.- When I try to build my packages using ROS->build menu command, I get the error "bash: catkin_make: command not found" . From terminal, it works ok. Any solution?

2.- The command "Debug-> Start debugging" gives the following error: " Failed to load MI Debugger: "/home/alberto/kinetic_ws/src/fegemu_demostrator/src/fegemu_demostrator.cpp": not in executable format: File format not recognized (from file-exec-and-symbols "/home/alberto/kinetic_ws/src/fegemu_demostrator/src/fegemu_demostrator.cpp")"

Can anyone help me with these two issues? Thank you in advance, Alberto

For some reason terminal which runs catkin_make haven't sourced ros setup file. It's strange because it was working before but after reinstalling Ubuntu it broke.

Workaround for bash: catkin_make: command not found

1. In Roboware Studio open any ROS workspace.
2. At the top left corner to the right of drop down menu |Debug     \/| click a gear icon. It will open tasks.json file.
3. In tasks.json file find "catkin_make". For debug configuration it will look like:

"taskName": "Debug",
"args": [
	"catkin_make -C ${workspaceRoot} -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug"
],

4. Prefix catkin_make with 'source <ros_installation_setup.bash_path>; ' and save the file. For me it looks like (note that I use ros melodic and it's installed in /opt directory): "source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash; catkin_make -C ${workspaceRoot} -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug"
5. Repeat 3rd and 4th steps for other build configurations you want (Release, Debug (isolated), etc.).
6. Press build icon and it should work.
