CMake Error : This workspace contains non-catkin packages

[ToniRV]

These packages are indeed not catkin packages, but they all have a package.xml file that indicates to catkin that the package should be built using plain cmake.
Can you give us more info on :

• OS
• ROS version
• catkin version
• cmake version
• build command (catkin_make, catkin build?)
  Thanks!

@qqadssp closing, but feel free to re-open if you couldn't fix the issue.

ubuntu 18.04
ros melodic
catkin version lastest
cmake lastest
build command : catkin_make

I tried with catkin_make but it gives an error. Is there a solution?

Managed to reproduce this issue with Ubuntu 18.04, ROS Melodic, catkin version 0.6.1, cmake version 3.20.0
The issue only occurs with the command 'catkin_make'. With 'catkin build', the build process goes through.
If the issue persists with 'catkin build', run 'catkin clean' in the root directory just before the build command.
