I am running ros indigo and trying to run the launch file or the node cpp file in this github source I downloaded the file and moved the DSP-3000 folder into my ~/catkin_ws/src directory. Then, in my catkin_ws, I did source devel/setup.bash then catkin_make.

All my other packages that's in the src directory got build, but DSP-3000 did not seem to get build. I deleted build/ devel/ and catkin_make again. in the build results, it show that only 3 packages were found, but in my src/ folder, there is DSP-3000 as well:

-- ~~  traversing 3 packages in topological order:

-- ~~  - beginner_tutorials

-- ~~  - camera_info_manager_py

-- ~~  - axis_camera

This is what I have in my src/ directory:

~/catkin_ws/src$ ls
axis_camera  beginner_tutorials  camera_info_manager_py  CMakeLists.txt  DSP-3000

So, what is the reason that DSP-3000 not being build?

Maybe you need to adjust your cmakelists.txt file.

are you talking about something like this link? If this is the case, what would be the reason that other packages does not need this step?

The DSP-3000 package you linked to uses the old rosbuild build system which is not compatible with the current catkin build system. This is why catkin_make is not recognising it as a package.

There's a guide for migrating packages from rosbuild to catkin here that will help you to convert this and get it building.

Thank you, turns out the master branch is catkinized.
