[ros-users] rosdep install turtle_teleop failed on OS X

[Nicholas Butko]

turtle_teleop_key works well on osx. 

Try
>> rosed turtle_teleop CMakeLists.txt

and then comment out the line 
#rosbuild_add_executable(turtle_teleop_joy src/teleop_turtle_joy.cpp)

This will refrain from compiling the teleop version that requires linux bluetooth libraries.
