Can I remove the source of ROS after installing
I've installed the ROS1 from source and I got four directories: build_isolated
, devel_isolated
, install_isolated
and src
.
I'm developing a project based on ROS1 so I think I only need the lib files of ROS so I removed the build_isolated
and devel_isolated
( https://answers.ros.org/question/2879... ).
I'm thinking if I can remove the src
directory, which contains all of source codes of ROS1? I found some third-party packages in src
, such as opencv3
etc, I'm not sure if I can remove the src
or not.
I'd say yes, as you source now
install_isolated
anyways. So nothing should be used fromsrc
anymore.I'm just not sure why you want to do that, i.e. install ROS from source, but get rid of everything, instead of using precompiled binaries? Are you using some unsupported OS?
As I wrote in #q288874, I'd really suggest you take a look at meta-ros, as from all your other questions it sounds like that would already cover a lot of the thing you're struggling with.
