[ros-users] rosmake --dist?

[Lorenz Mösenlechner]

Hi,

calling 'cmake CMakeLists.txt' in your package directory should
overwrite your existing Makefile with a cmake generated one. I'm not
sure if this is what you want to do and calling cmake outside a
dedicated build directory is not the right way to use cmake anyway.

Rosmake doesn't know the distclean target that you added to your
CMakeLists.txt because it just calls make in your project
directory. If you have a look at the common Makefile that is created,
for instance, by roscreate-pkg, it only contains the line:

include $(shell rospack find mk)/cmake.mk

You can easily enable the dist-clean target by adding the following
lines after the above include line:

distclean:
        cd build && make distclean

Note that before the 'cd build' in the above Makefile snippet, you
must put a tab. Otherwise, make will not be able to read the file
correctly.
