adding new dependency to a package

Sorry this is probably a stupid questions...

I've downloaded and successfully built the mrpt_common, mrpt_slam, and mrpt_hwdrivers packages. I assume this now allows me to reference some, if not all, MRPT functionality in a ros package.

However, when I add a reference to a mrpt class and add the include it get errors.

So now I'm wondering whether doing rosmake --rosdep-install <mypkg> doesn't resolve things.

Can someone help me out? My goal is to be able to reference and use any of the many useful MRPT classes from within a ROS package.

Thanks

Hello! If I understand you in right way, you should open next file:

your_project_dir/manifest.xml

and add something like this:

Also, you can create new package with dependencies, e.g.

roscreate-pkg yourProjectName mrpt_common mrpt_slam mrpt_hwdrivers

After package name you should list all dependecies. Hope this will be useful.

CaptainTrunky is right, you should just add one line to your manifest.xml.

But the correct package to depend on is mrpt_libs, which exports the required {c,l}flags. So it would be like:

<depend package="mrpt_libs"/>

Cheers!
