robot_state_publisher Catkin_make ERROR

Question

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS desktop and ros Noetic

i have installed this library robot_state_publisher for integrate the imu and Lidar,

when I clone the repo from GitHub in my workspace src folder then I came back to workspace and I did catkin_make

I want to use tf to get updated in real-time using this package

it gave me an Error : the Error is following:

-- ~~  - rviz_imu_plugin

Answer 1

Please build the package with catkin_make_isolated instead of catkin_make.

• catkin_make treats the entire workspace as a single cmake project, and builds it with a single invocation of cmake. Since catkin_make treats the entire workspace as a single package, it's faster for incremental builds that only change code, but slower when you need to regenerate the build files, and more sensitive to dependency issues between packages.
• catkin_make_isolated treats each package as a separate cmake project, and builds and installs each separately, in dependency order. This is why it's able to build plain cmake packages.
