ERROR: cannot launch node of type [msf_updates/pose_sensor]: can't locate node [pose_sensor] in package [msf_updates]

I am following this tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/ethzasl_sensor_fusion/Tutorials/Introductory%20Tutorial%20for%20Multi-Sensor%20Fusion%20Framework and have compiled the package in the catkin workspace. I tried to get the new namespace and launch the filter but I am unable to do so because I get an error that the pose_sensor node cannot be located. I have source'd my devel/setup.bash. However, that hasn't fixed the problem. I still get the error:

NODES
  /msf_viconpos_sensor (msf_updates/pose_sensor)

ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311

ERROR: cannot launch node of type [msf_updates/pose_sensor]: can't locate node [pose_sensor] in package [msf_updates]

EDIT:

After adding the missing code, here is the new error I get when I run catkin_make:

/bin/sh: 1: cannot open /home/yukti/catkin_ws/src/fix-unused-typedef-warning.patch: No such file
glog_catkin-master/CMakeFiles/glog_src.dir/build.make:101: recipe for target 'glog_catkin-master/glog_src-prefix/src/glog_src-stamp/glog_src-patch' failed

EDIT 2:

After running a different make command as follows:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

I was able to successfully compile. However, I still get the same error that;

can't locate node [pose_sensor] in package [msf_updates]

EDIT 3: Edit 2 was incorrect because I had an incorrect src folder in my home folder which contained a CMakeLists.txt. If following the correct order, I still get a compilation error akin to Edit 1.

EDIT 4: cmake failed after adding all the changes from the pull request. Here is the log:

Solution

  • You don't have the right CMake files unfortunately and the admins of the repo do not seem very interested in maintaining it.

    However, this pull request contains the necessary CMakeLists to launch pose_sensor

    https://github.com/ethz-asl/ethzasl_msf/pull/141/files

    Specifically, here is the diff that you need

    https://github.com/ethz-asl/ethzasl_msf/pull/141/files#diff-a855f8508d144ac9c52a05344bfeba5cR7

    install(TARGETS
    pose_sensor
    DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}
    LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}
)
