Need help understanding how to compile a certain package.
Hi, I want to use the LeddarTech M16 driver provided by mcgillis robotics. https://github.com/mcgill-robotics/ro... On the readme there is a step that states:
You must compile this package before being able to run it. You can do so by running:
export LEDDAR_LIB_DIR=/path/to/driver
catkin_make
from the root of your workspace.
But I'm not sure how to do this. I am new to linux command line so if someone can kindly help me I do appreciate it.
Have you been able to follow the steps in the readme up until the compile step? Do you have a catkin workspace?
If so, just type "export LEDDAR_LIB_DIR=/path/to/driver" into the terminal and press enter. Then navigate to the root of your catkin workspace, type catkin_make and press enter again.
I suggest you start with the ROS tutorials: http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials to get the hang of how the workspace works and how to compile ROS nodes.
