Explanation of catkin_make install?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a binary representation of my workspace so that I can transfer just binaries rather than the source. I am able to generate an install directory of my workspace. when I move that install directory to some location other than where it was built, it can't 'find' anything? eg: copyting from ~/ws/ to ~/ then running source ~/install/setup.bash
. How do I specify its new location? I believe the error is in the line
: ${_CATKIN_SETUP_DIR:=/home/<user>/ws/install}
of setup.sh
or perhaps executable permissions since I have copied them to a new location? Am I suppose to run something else to setup permissions?
EDIT
I have found the problem is in relation to copying the directory from a usb. Is it possible to retain the files characteristics when copying from a USB? I think the problem is pertinent to file permissions.
Thanks, Grant
edited to reflect my new question.
try 'rospack profile' first to let system index your packages..
@tianb03 what should I be looking for from this command?
I do think the issue is with permissions, none of the binaries in the new location have executable permissions
