Revision history [back]

Install to filesystem prefix basically means: Install independent from ROS/as you normally would.

The idea is to just use the library in your ROS packages as you would in any other program instead of making it into a ROS package first, i.e. use the library as a library and don't ROSify it. It is OK to make a ROS interface package that wraps the library function calls in ROS messages/services linking to the library.
