Using rosmake offline

edit

Hi

I am on electric in a Debian squeeze linux. everything is working perfectly for now when I am online (I mean with an internet connection).

But as soos as I loose the web connection, rosmake don't want to work anymore with this :

ard@ard-host(9.2):~$ rosmake arp_master

I think this may be due to packages that are trying to getting dependencies online.

Does anyone has the same behavior ? Does anyone now how to go over this ?

UPDATE :

After correcting Cmake logic and manifests, the problem is still here.

What allows me to overcome this problem is not to define the <rosdep name="eigen"> line in my manifest. This is because eigen3 is already installed, but rosdep is always trying to connect to the net to get the last version. Is this a bug of rosdep ?

I can isolate the problem just doing "rosdep install" (so the problem seems to be in rosdep instead of rosmake ... (more)
