Can I use a package with a different distribution for which it was made?
Hello all,
I want to use a realsense camera with ROS. The package for this can be found here. The problem/question I have is, can I use this with ROS melodic, even thought in the package page is says it was made for indigo and kinetic? To my understanding, if there have not been any huge changes between to different ROS distributions, the package should work properly with newer distributions. Additionally, I'm installing the package from source, so I thought it should work.
I followed the steps for the installation, found here. However, after I did, ROS does not see the package. I write "rosrun real" followed by a double tab, to show packages that start with this name, but nothing. I also wrote down the whole name, with no results.
Any sugestions/ideas? Am I just not installing from source the package correctly (I have limited experience with this)?
