Install Geometry stack from source
I am on an embedded ARM system (Pandaboard) so I don't have the geometry stack installed by default - specifically tf at the moment. tf is a dependency on another package, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get ros to recognize that I have it. I ran
hg clone https://kforge.ros.org/geometry/geometry
into my workspace and then ran rosws set geometry. However, still rospack list does not list tf as being installed. I haven't had to rosmake any of the other packages I've done like this, but nonetheless, I tried that and it failed. There are no manifest.xml files in the packages. Could that be why they aren't being recognized? How would I build those manifests if so? I also tried cloning it into my /opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/ directory. still no-go.
Sorry if there is something very basic that I'm missing, but I've been stumped for a few days now. Thanks so much ahead of time.
