Cmake Error when I complied at my ros2 workspace

[louis1218]

I tried compiling this pepper_meshes2 package cloned in my ros2 workspace and colcon build it. I received the following error.

CMake Error at ament_cmake_symlink_install/ament_cmake_symlink_install.cmake:100 (message):
ament_cmake_symlink_install_directory() can't find
'/home/crossing/ws/install/pepper_meshes/share/pepper_meshes/tmp/meshes'
Call Stack (most recent call first):
ament_cmake_symlink_install/ament_cmake_symlink_install.cmake:356 (ament_cmake_symlink_install_directory)
cmake_install.cmake:46 (include)

I have tried it in ros2 humble and foxy and still received the same error.

My compiling steps:

1. Git clone this repository to my ros2 workspace/src folder
2. Enter the command of colcon build --symlink-install
3. I received the error

Do you reckon any steps I am missing?

Thank you.

Hey @manhim1218 , I think that the symlink install might be responsible here. Could you try a simple build without a symlink install?

Regarding the distros, I tested the build against Foxy and Galactic, not Humble (it shouldn't make much of a difference though)

I have tried to compile the package in ROS2 Foxy, with colcon build and colcon build --merge-install, the error is the same:
