I have a catkin workspace with a lot of packages. Now, if I make changes to CMakeLists.txt in one of the packages, how do I rebuild only that single package, provided my changes do not concern any other package (e.g. other packages need not to be rebuilt)?

catkin_make --pkg [YOUR_PACKAGE]
should do what you are asking for.

Yes it rebuild only the package but it does not rebuild actually because any change has not been done. How can I rebuild one package from the beginning as like it is a new one? catkin clean PKG command does not work.

If you're just looking to get changes to CMakeLists.txt picked up, you could add --force-cmake to your catkin_make invocation.

Thanks, it works as you told!
catkin_make --pkg <YOUR_PACKAGE> --force-cmake
