ROS build single package

edit

I am developing on a BeagleBone Black, running Debian Wheezy, using ROS Indigo. All the packages I need to use need to be compiled, which is no big deal.

But, right now when I need to compile a single package, all the packages are re-built. Currently I'm up to about 78 packages that I am building every time I add a new one, and that takes about 2 hours.

The steps I am using to build are (these are steps listed here http://wiki.ros.org/indigo/Installati... section 3) :

rosinstall_generator ros_comm ros_control joystick_drivers --rosdistro indigo --deps --wet-only --exclude roslisp --tar > indigo-custom_ros.rosinstall

(add my new package to the list above step)

wstool merge -t src indigo-custom_ros.rosinstall
wstool update -t src

rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo -y -r --os=debian:wheezy

sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-space /opt/ros/indigo

in the last step, can I add the --pkg <name> command somewhere in there so I can only compile that one package? Like this?

sudo ./src/catkin/bin/catkin_make_isolated ***--pkg name***  --install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release --install-space /opt/ros/indigo

Is there another way? Is anything going to break if I do this?

Thanks!
