What does export tag in package.xml do?
What does the following block of code in a package.xml
do?
<export>
<gazebo_ros gazebo_model_path="${prefix}/models"/>
</export>
I thought if I have this code in my package's package.xml
& catkin_make
the package & source the corresponding setup.bash
file, the GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH
env variable will be set automatically instead of having to set it manually. But that doesn't look like the case.
Can anyone please explain this? Thanks!
P.S: I was trying to follow this tutorial
P.P.S: I'm using ROS Noetic. & Gazebo-11
