Once you run `catkin_make_isolated --install --install-space
/opt/ros/groovy` then rosmake should be at `/opt/ros/groovy/bin/rosmake`.
You should be able to run rosmake after sourcing /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash.

You search in /opt/ros/groovy and found it in your workspace? That doesn't
make sense to me, you mean that the only place you can find it is in your
workspace?

rosmake is a python script, it exists in the source space at
catkin_ws/src/rosmake/scripts/rosmake and in the install space at
<install_prefix>/bin/rosmake after you build and install the workspace.

The location depends on your install prefix, it will be the first if you
use /opt/ros/groovy. It would only be the latter if you explicitly told it
to install to /usr/local.

Those instructions (other than resolving dependencies) are generic and your
best bet.
