How to generate binary .deb file of a ROS package locally without ROS buldfarm

edit

Thanks, what I mean is to build my own package locally without a repository

Without using Bloom, I think the level of automation is going to be limited. You could perhaps use a local release repository (a git repo on your local machine, with a file://.. url). Then GPB. Or maybe checkinstall is an option. Or even just copy the files from the install location.

Depending on what your package does/needs, you could see whether building with regular CMake works (mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. etc). If it does, checkinstall should be able to create a debian for you. Or maybe fpm, or CMake's own package generation infrastructure.

Many thanks, gvdhoorn . I have tried cheinstall, but failed. Could you please show me the detail for this process. Cheers. What I need is to create a binary deb of my own package and share it to the others without the source code for some reason.

"but failed" is a bit vague. If you could update your question with what you tried, and any error messages that produced we might be able to help you.

Same question here! I had problems using checkinstall. I was installing my packages in a custom directory and trying to pack it. But after the checkinstall command and compilation the deb file is empty. Do you know what could be happen?
