Description Of The Library / Tool

This repository contains the source code for the ROS Client Library for C++ package, included with a standard install of any ROS 2 distro.

rclcpp provides the standard C++ API for interacting with ROS 2.

My Opinions

This library is related to ROS/ROS2. ROS/ROS2 has its own recommended build tools, such as colcon and catkin_make. However, if this library can be used by Conan, then it is possible to "install ROS/ROS2 by Conan", right?

Any news for that?

Although a few of the core libraries, like rclcpp, might be useful in isolation as Conan packages, consuming Conan packages as Ament packages via a generator is a much more viable and sensible approach. Thanks, @danimtb!
