Hello,
I am trying to build a custom arduplane code for the pixhawk using the make px4 command and the px4-toolchain. I am getting an error in the toolchain:
On Windows please run:
easy_install empy catkin_pkg
I tried deleting and redownloading the ardupilot, PX4Firmware, and PX4NuttX from GitHub several times and it didn't fix the problem.
Has anyone encountered this before?
Thanks.

I solved this problem in the following way:
1) download the source of "genmsg" from https://github.com/ros/genmsg -> find inside the folder "genmsg" -> copy it into {path to your python installation}\Lib
2) download the source of "catkin" from https://github.com/ros/catkin -> find inside the folder "catkin_pkg" -> copy it into {path to your python installation}\Lib
3) download the source of empy from http://www.alcyone.com/software/empy/empy-latest.tar.gz ->
find inside the file "em.py" -> copy it into {px4 folder}\Tools
4) launch your python and make sure that the following commands work:
import em
import genmsg
I hope this will help you..
