Revision history [back]

If you have no ROS dependencies (message packages, etc) then it's basically just like using CMake. You simply need to create a package (using roscreate-pkg), and then add your executable to the list of things to build in the CMakeFiles.txt. After building, rosrun/roslaunch will automatically find the executables inside your package.
