Revision history [back]

There are two build systems in ROS: rosbuild - the original one and catkin- the newer one. The package you are referring to uses catkin.

Instructions for compiling catkin packages can also be found in the tutorials. There should be a button at the top in the tutorials where you can switch between rosbuild and catkin.
