I'm new using ROS and I would like to upgrade the PCL 1.8 package, which is the one that comes when ROS is installed, to PCL 1.12.

I have followed the steps described at the PCL site and downloaded PCL 1.12 from Github. But now, I've read that I need to compile from source the used packages with ROS (pcl_conversions), but I don't know how to successfully do this process.

If you could describe me how could I do it, it would be really helpful.

Thank you in advance.

if/when referring to something external, always link to it.

We can't guess what you've seen.

Sorry, I thought that link wasn't that important.

Here there is a issue I did in Github where someone told me I need to compile some ROS packages from source. I've tried what he said, moving the pcl_conversions to my workspace catkin_ws/src and run catkin_make command, but it doesn't work.

I also read the same about I have to compile from source in other forums, but they don't describe the process.
