Matlab error on Ros custom message

Hi,

I know this has been asked before, but I have tried to follow all the suggestions without any error free result.

I am using 'rosgenmsg' with this 'package.xml' file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

-<package>

<name>qualisys</name>

<version>0.0.1</version>

<description>Convert msg of Qualisys to ROS compatible format</description>

And getting the following result:

An error occurred while building custom messages. See the full error message above.

Possible reasons for the error:

1. The msg or srv files may have syntax errors.

2. The dependencies on other message packages may not be declared correctly in the build_depends tags in the package.xml.

3. Messages packages declared as dependencies may not be available.

4. The custom message packages may be missing a build dependency on "message_generation".

See the ROS Custom Messages documentation for more information.

Hello Torgeir,

I believe that you simply have a typo or two that is preventing the custom message generator from finding the required dependencies. The main one is that "buils_depend" should be "build_depend"

<buils_depend>geometry_msgs</buils_depend>

You also have a dash in front of the package tag:

-<package>

Not sure if that matters, but it looked odd.

Also note that only format 1 for the package definition is accepted for now, which has "build_depend" and "run_depend" but no "depend" tags. See here and here for similar questions, and here for an explanation of what changed in format 2.

Thank you, for your typo check, lol. I thought there where some syntax check, so I didn't bother to check.
