Add cmake modules for VRPN #6

Closed ojura closed 7 years ago

ojura commented 7 years ago

When compiling the node for Kinetic, I saw that doing a make install of VRPN does not install the cmake config/find library files which are needed to compile the node. Thus, I think it makes sense to include them with the node source code.

paulbovbel commented 7 years ago

That's a deficiency since I still haven't bloomed vrpn for kinetic, which is where the appropriate catkinization patches are applied to vrpn. You normally shouldn't have to build it from source.

ojura commented 7 years ago

Of course. Could you document where one can obtain this catkinized version of vrpn? Just in case so that someone who wants to make a modification and compile the node from source (or, like me, compile the node for a newer ROS distro than it's officially available for) can do so without having to look how to resolve the vrpn dependency.

paulbovbel commented 7 years ago

The catkinized version is obtained by applying bloom patches (see http://wiki.ros.org/bloom/Tutorials/ReleaseThirdParty)

You can grab bloom's assembled version here https://github.com/clearpath-gbp/vrpn-release/tree/release/kinetic/vrpn

I've alse released vrpn for jade and kinetic.
