Revision history [back]

The winros_make command just makes a call out to cmake, but potentially passes alot of variables. You can see part of winros_make's scripting which makes the call here.

You should also see the output for the cmake command that winros_make executed directly on standard output (check the print lines in the script above). At any rate, that should give you an idea of what magic winros_make is doing under the hood.

Note that rosmake is legacy - it is the tool that was used for the old build system. winros_make is effectively the windows counterpart of catkin_make on linux. It just adds a few extra windows specific features to make it easier for the user.

We plan to perhaps have a script to simplify building of packages only. I did that with fuerte - just haven't gotten that far with groovy yet.
