Beginner help - indigo+stage

edit

Hello community, I am new to ros, I did the beginner tutorial and got a sense of ros and its environment. However, I am not quite sure how to build stage package which depends on stage_ros. I prefer catkin style and am not sure if stage supports catkin in indigo. I am planning to do the following, correct me if am wrong.

1. I will check all the depends using rospack depsnds1 stage This should give me all the dependencies

2. I will create a package in catkin_ws/src using catkin_create_pkg stage [d1] [d2] ......[dn] where d1,d2,...,dn dependencies that I got from step 1.

3. I will add the workspace on top of ROS environment using source .~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash

4. Will build then package to see no errors using cd ~/catkin_ws catkin_make

5. Experiment with the built in nodes and will get a feel of stage environment.

6. Write my own nodes for my application.

Thanks in advance.
