[ros-users] patch + packages for ccny_vision on natty

[Piyush Khandelwal]

Hi,

Currently ccny_vision has no packages for natty as it does not build
without a patch. See: http://robotics.ccny.cuny.edu/trac/ticket/55
Instructions for manually patching are available here:
http://www.ros.org/wiki/artoolkit

I have a patch available at
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~piyushk/artoolkit-patch-natty.txt which
automates the procedure above. i.e I can run this on any of my
machines using the following commands:

git clone http://robotics.ccny.cuny.edu/git/ccny-ros-pkg/ccny_vision.git
cd ccny_vision
wget http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~piyushk/artoolkit-patch-natty.txt
git apply artoolkit-patch-natty.txt
rosmake ccny_vision --rosdep-install

Note: The tar downloaded will be
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~piyushk/ARToolKit-Natty.tar.gz. This has
been patched.

Is anybody from WG or CCNY interested in a more permanent fix to the
problem, i.e. releasing packages for easier use. I am unfamiliar with
the build process for releasing debs, so I am not sure how much work
this entails.

Thanks!
Piyush
