If I use roscreate-pkg to create my package, but then later decide to add another dependency (in this case, rospy), is there a simple way to get things setup correctly? Or do I now have to do those steps by hand?
In order to add a new dependency to an existing package, just edit the package's manifest.xml file.
You'll have to add a line like <depend package="package_name" />.
For example, to add a dependency to rospy, you would add the line <depend package="rospy" />.
@morann: note the date of the answer: 2011. Things have changed since then, and rosmake worked differently from how Catkin works.
Please refer to the catkin documentation for up-to-date information.
@gvdhoorn Your link doesn't directly answer the question, though. Could you write a new answer?
I would say it actually does: see C++ catkin library dependencies fi, and all the other pages.
@gvdhoorn "See all the pages in the documentation" is not an answer (and I suppose you didn't try to make it one). Yes, OP could look through the documentation, and your link is helpful for that; thanks. But if the tl;dr is "there's no easy tool, so add to CMakeLists.txt and package.xml", say so!
The documentation I linked to clearly explains how to update CMakeLists.txt and package.xml to add/edit/remove dependency information.
I'm not sure where the hostility comes from.
For once we have documentation about something in ROS, I link to it and still it's not good enough.
@gvdhoorn I apologize; I came off a little strong. I only meant that your comment could easily be transformed into a full, and perhaps more up-to-date answer. Upon more careful inspection, I think that your second link is, as you say, almost an (overcomplete) answer itself.
