I'm the new one to ROS.. I have written two cpp file named talker.cpp and listener.cpp in src and i add two lines seeing below in CMakeLists.txt file

rosbuild_add_executable(talker src/talker.cpp)
rosbuild_add_executable(listener src/listener.cpp)

now when i give a command $make it displays

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Would you please explain me clearly the steps which we need to execute cpp files in ROS environment please explain it me in steps

To run make you need a file called makefile. This tutorial tells you steps of how to create a package, including all necessary files: http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/CreatingPackage

Else you can use this as a Makefile:

include $(shell rospack find mk)/cmake.mk

This are instructions for ROS fuerte.

EDIT: I am serious: Do the tutorial linked above. Your source files need to go into the src folder, you need a Makefile, and only when you have that Makefile will you get executables in the bin folder. The tutorial explains all that.

Hi there, In the folder where you have the CMakeLists.txt file. Enter in the terminal: "$cmake ." and after enter: "$ rosmake(this would create the executables).

Never execute cmake . in ROS. This will overwrite the default Makefile generated by roscreate-pkg.
