catkin_make_isolated

edit

Hi,

I have installed a non catkin package and have had to use catkin_make_isolated. This has created the build_isolated and devel_isolated folder. I understand I have had to use this because of the non-catkin package. Do I now have to use catkin_make_isolated for all future builds? Could i delete the build/devel folders and the non-catkin package and rebuild using catkin_make (i.e. switch back)? Can I also use catkin_make and catkin_make_isolated in same WS?

What further things should I be aware of using catkin_make_isolated?

Any help would be great. Cheers!
