Tramite ros catkin si può automatizzare la compilazione dei package.

Il file CMakeLists.txt descrive le impostazioni di compilazione, e si può personalizzare.

http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/CMakeLists.txt

Anche in Python! http://docs.ros.org/api/catkin/html/howto/format2/installing_python.html

L'ordine delle voci è importante!

• Required CMake Version (cmake_minimum_required)
• Package Name (project())
• Find other CMake/Catkin packages needed for build (find_package())
• Message/Service/Action Generators (add_message_files(), add_service_files(), add_action_files())
• Invoke message/service/action generation (generate_messages())
• Specify package build info export (catkin_package())
• Libraries/Executables to build (add_library()/add_executable()/target_link_libraries())
• Tests to build (catkin_add_gtest())
• Install rules (install())
