ROS installation and usage of nmea_navsat_driver for GPS receiver? [closed]

edit

Cool, so I removed the package (to avoid any problems I may have caused by invoking the setup.py directly), and then reinstalled with git clone https://github.com/ros-drivers/nmea_n... . However, I checked out the CMakeLists, and am a little confused because I don't see it adding/linking any executables (such as nmea_serial_driver, which I'm trying to use). In addition, I don't even see where the CMakeLists invokes the setup.py file. Then, when I run catkin_make, the terminal compiles my workspace as if nothing is different (it takes only a fraction of a second, and doesn't include any reference to the nmea package.

Do I need to modify the CMakeLists? I just cloned the repository into catkin_ws, do I need to put it somewhere else? Or am I doing something else wrong? Tring to run the nmea_serial_driver still produces the same stack/package not found error.

The CMakeLists.txt in the nmea_navsat_driver is calling catkin_python_setup(), which invokes the setup.py through catkin with the appropriate arguments.

Oh I see. And then is the setup.py file supposed to be the one that actually creates the executables I want to use? Either way thiough, any idea why these executables still aren't being created? Or just what I'm doing wrong in general? I just want to be able to use the nodes within this package, but have not yet figured out how to do so.
