Building full ros workspace

[Hunk]

Hello,

I'm new on meta-ros and I'm trying to build some custom ros packages, which works great at the moment. So thank you for your great work.

I have a question about ros workspaces. Is it possible to build an typically ros workspace with one recipes ?

ros workspace
-- src
-----package 1
-----package 2
-- Top level CMakeLists.txt

Or do I have to define a recipes for every package?

Thank you for your help !

Best regards Hunk

Dear Hunk,

in the case you have not figured out a good solution yet. I would suggest to define one recipe for each package. If many recipes share the same data, e.g., the SRC_URI is the same, you can factor out the common part of the recipes into an include file (.inc file).

Among many others, the recipes of the roscpp-core repository [1] or navigation repository [2] are useful examples to copy the scheme.

Hope this helps,
