Help Building

[bahlborn]

Hello. Appologies if this is the wrong place to post this. I am trying to build the mocap_qualisys package.

I have setup ROS as described here: http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Windows
I created a catkin workspace as described here: http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/create_a_workspace
I have cloned the git repository here into my workspace and added the workspace path to ROS_PACKAGE_PATH.
When I run catkin_make --pkg mocap_qualisys --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release, I get the following output:

Base path: C:\opt\motion_capture_system
Source space: C:\opt\motion_capture_system\src
Build space: C:\opt\motion_capture_system\build
Devel space: C:\opt\motion_capture_system\devel
Install space: C:\opt\motion_capture_system\install
Packages "mocap_qualisys" not found in the workspace

It seems like the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH is not being recognized.

I have tried moving the mocap_qualisys and mocap_base folders into my workspace's src folder. In this case, I get the following output when running catkin_make --pkg mocap_qualisys --cmake-args -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

Base path: C:\opt\motion_capture_system
Source space: C:\opt\motion_capture_system\src
Build space: C:\opt\motion_capture_system\build
Devel space: C:\opt\motion_capture_system\devel
Install space: C:\opt\motion_capture_system\install

In this case, it seems as though the ninja build files for the packages are not being generated. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
