That is interesting. Could you try and figure out which package it is considering a 'non-catkin' package?

[G.A. vd. Hoorn]

You can just touch pkg/CATKIN_IGNORE for that.

[G.A. vd. Hoorn]

Probably this line:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)

Changed in ddc74de as part of #161.

catkin_make expects it to have the VERSION arg set to 2.8.3.

[Victor Lamoine]

The problem is because we changed the cmake minimum version. For some reason catkin_make doesn't like that we specify 3.8.12, if I go back to 2.8.3 everything is ok

[G.A. vd. Hoorn]

There is no need to set it to 2.8.12 here anyway, so I suggest you change it back.

[G.A. vd. Hoorn]

If you can prepare a PR, I'll merge it.

[Victor Lamoine]

I did that to be homogeneous in the CMake versions. It's weird that it checks for a specific version. It should be "at least 2.8.3".

I'll make a merge request right now.

catkin_make does a content-check of the CMakeLists.txt in a metapackage, it does not parse it. There is no CMake involved at this point.

[Victor Lamoine]

catkin build does not complain about that.

[G.A. vd. Hoorn]

No, because it's a completely different tool, and because it is capable of building mixed workspaces.
