Build error related to FlatTarget msg

Hi @Jaeyoung-Lim
Following the build instructions in the README, I get the following error after catkin build

 fatal error: controller_msgs/FlatTarget.h: No such file or directory
 #include <controller_msgs/FlatTarget.h>

Do I need to modify the msg dependencies in the geometric_controllers pkg?

Here is my catkin_ws config, if it helps

Solved by changing the config of the catkin_ws as follows

catkin config --merge-devel

@mzahana would you mind adding it to the build instructions in the readme?

mzahana commented

@Jaeyoung-Lim here you go #126

Hey @mzahana,
How did you figure out to use the merged layout? and why does it make when we use a merged layout before we execute catkin build

Jaeyoung-Lim commented

@tejalbarnwal

        catkin config --merge-devel

Hey @Jaeyoung-Lim ,
First of all, thank you so much for creating this excellent repo!
Next, coming to this thread, pardon me if I came across as little confusing with my choice of words, but I wanted to know why does doing catkin config --merge-devel work. Doing catkin config --merge-devel creates a merged layout as mentioned here, leading to catkin build working perfectly without giving out the error message related to FlatTarget msg.
