I just realized that there will probably be a new problem building in
OS X. Yesterday, I added a <rosdep> of the libdc1394v2 ROS package to
fix a build dependency problem on Ubuntu Hardy (which does not have
version 2 of that library. Unfortunately, libdc1394v2 is marked
ROS_BUILD_BLACKLIST_OSX. This is a temporary fix until I can come up
with a proper <rosdep> solution for that problem.
Maybe that will work for you, but I suspect it will not. If not,
you'll probably have to edit that <depend> out of the manifext.xml
until we have a better solution. Sorry for the mess, it was failing
the automated build tests in ros-pkg.
I don't suppose the automated builds include OS X. Is there any hope
of doing that in the future, perhaps?
