colcon build without --symlink install #724

Closed elgarbe closed 4 months ago

elgarbe commented 4 months ago

I'm wondering why you use symlink install?

Don't be better use just colcon build and then remove log, build and src?

This is reproducing the default source installation instructions: https://docs.ros.org/en/rolling/Installation/Alternatives/Ubuntu-Development-Setup.html

The symlink install enables quicker iterations for scripting development. https://robotics.stackexchange.com/questions/98303/what-is-the-use-of-symlink-install-in-ros2-colcon-build
