Package contains non-catkin packages in it

[wiyoung97]

Unable to use packages rqt without _gui-config.cmake file. I was pointed to this package containing it. Error after installing resulting in:

CMake Error at catkin/cmake/catkin_workspace.cmake:100 (message):
This workspace contains non-catkin packages in it, and catkin cannot build
a non-homogeneous workspace without isolation. Try the
'catkin_make_isolated' command instead.

could you share all the steps that led to that error?
It's not clear what you're trying to do

Hi I am facing the same issue when trying to catkin_make after git cloning this repo. I tried the catkin_make_isolated command but it doesn't work too.

Im running ros noetic on RPi 4.

Please @Buttosaii and @wiyoung97, share detailed instructions to reproduce the issue.

That should include:

• OS you're using.
• All the steps you used to clone repositories in your workspace and to install dependencies.
• All steps you used to build.

@ivanpauno

I am running ros noetic on ubuntu in RPi4

I git clone this repo into my catkin_ws/src and when i tried catkin_make it, i am prompted with that exact same error @wiyoung97 had posted.

Reading from online sources, many had said they have managed to make it work through catkin build, however I am already using catkin_make for the rest of my projects, and it seems pretty troublesome to convert to catkin build.

P.S. I am new to ROS, any help would be greatly appreciated!

What branch are you using?
You should checkout melodic-devel.

[Buttosaii]

@ivanpauno I am using the noetic branch

[ivanpauno]

There's no noetic branch in this repo.
Please checkout melodic-devel, which is the branch also being used for noetic.

cd <path/to/qt_gui_code>
git checkout melodic-devel
git pull
