Installing Orocos and Ros

Hi,

I would like to install Orocos and Ros in a box. And I would like to that
they work together. The wiki page recommends use the Ros tool rosmake. But,

- is there some problem if I use the standard orocos tool to install it and
after I install Ros, and configure the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH?

- if the box has a rtt-xenomai, can colife a Ros and orocos-xenomai
installation?

Thanks in advance.

Leo

Yes. We use the OROCOS_TARGET environment variable to set what version
we want to build and/or use.

This mechanism only works properly from Orocos 2.5.0 on.

Either you use the Orocos debian packages that ship with ROS, or you
do an autoproj install, since the 2.5 Orocos debian packages, the
resulting system should be the same. So no, there _should_ not be a
problem with just adding your Orocos folder to the ROS_PACKAGE_PATH.

AFAIK, I don't see any problems here either.
