It is interesting, I wonder why the `rosws`[1] command is not used here? I suppose it might be trying to explain the role of ROS_PACKAGE_PATH and ROS_WORKSPACE, but I think it would be better to add information about ROS_WORKSPACE here: http://ros.org/wiki/ROS/EnvironmentVariables, and use `rosws` in the tutorial. Manually creating a setup.sh file seems tedious and unnecessary.
Hi,
IMHO there is a bug in the configuration tutorial on http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/Tutorials/InstallingandConfiguringROSEnvironment in section 3.2:
If you run the first line of the listing, the $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH variable is expanded, which should not be done like that. If there is no $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH set on call time of the command, the string is expanded to "export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=~/ros_workspace:"
If you want to rosmake your first package this results in
[rospack] Error: package/stack shutter depends on non-existent package roscpp
Greets,
David
