1 | initial version |
one way is to install it from source,
I assume that you want to use newer version of PCL (which was not installed with ROS). You would need to install PCL from source. Download desired PCL repo from this link. Then, compile it from source while setting USE_ROS param 'true'.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DUSE_ROS=1
sudo make install -j
next is to include standalone-pcl directory in CMakeLists.txt file of your package using find_package(PCL 1.7 REQUIRED) include_directories(${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS} ) and linking executable with target_link_libraries(exec_name ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${PCL_LIBRARIES})
hope this helps
