Setup Environment

Build wombat

The wombat software is built in a developer Docker container using the colcon build tool.

Start a developer Docker container:

.devdocker/run.sh

cd ~/wombat
colcon build
colcon test

This will generate a _ws sub-directory containing the built artifacts. For more advanced commands check colcon --help.
