catkin_make install copy files to default ROS folder
Hello,
Let's assume ROS Indigo distro. Let's assume its default location is /opt/ros/indigo
. Let's assume I create a new project (package) and I invoke catkin_make install
. This will create the folder install
in my catkin workspace with the necessary files in it.
Question: Can I copy the files from the install
folder to the /opt/ros/indigo
and afterwards not use the package from my catkin workspace (i.e. like the ones you install from rosdep)? The folder structure seems almost (if not) identical. Assuming here of course unique package name to avoid overriding.
Please note the question is _not_ why I would do this, but _if_ I can do this. (But maybe since someone might curious, I am considering in creating a .deb
file to easily distribute it.)
Thanks!
