Revision history [back]

As you can read in the groovy install from source tutorial to use the older workspace system you need to create one.

The catkin workspace isn't really a workspace as the older was: meaning no global variables get set, there is no auto-looking up of the folders, no setup.bash, etc.

So if you want/need to use rosmake and the likes, you need to setup a rosws workspace just like before. Take care to point it to the actual ros root otherwise it won't work

$ rosws init ~/my_ros_workspace /opt/ros/groovy

or wherever you installed ros groovy.
