[ros-users] Build Messages

Howdy ROSers,

    I'm looking to build the message classes for a package without building
the actual binaries.  Do-able?  Easy?

Details: My robot's node requires libraries and hardware that my
desktop doesn't have. I'd like to watch the topics being broadcast by
my robot from my desktop, but I can't because the message classes don't
exist.
    
Thanks,

Dan
