Create Follow

The Follow package will depend on messages, Python, and C++ packages.

eepp@tabor:~$ cd ros_workspace

eepp@tabor:ros_workspace$ roscreate-pkg follow std_msgs rospy roscpp
Created package directory /home/eepp/ros_workspace/follow
Created include directory /home/eepp/ros_workspace/follow/include/follow
Created cpp source directory /home/eepp/ros_workspace/follow/src
Created package file /home/eepp/ros_workspace/follow/Makefile
Created package file /home/eepp/ros_workspace/follow/manifest.xml
Created package file /home/eepp/ros_workspace/follow/CMakeLists.txt
Created package file /home/eepp/ros_workspace/follow/mainpage.dox

Please edit follow/manifest.xml and mainpage.dox to finish creating your package

This will create the follow directory with make files, Doxygen template, a source directory and include directory.

epp@tabor:ros_workspace$ cd follow

eepp@tabor:follow$ ls
CMakeLists.txt  include  mainpage.dox  Makefile  manifest.xml  src

manifest.xml will contain the dependencies listed in the package create command.

Build

Entering a make from the follow directory will create the bin and build directories.

epp@tabor:follow$ make
mkdir -p bin
cd build && cmake -Wdev -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=`rospack find rosbuild`/rostoolchain.cmake  ..

cd build && make 
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/eepp/ros_workspace/follow/build'

build will contain all the make infrastructure specified by CMakeLists.txt file. bin will also because the src directory is empty and no source files are specified in CMakeLists.txt.
