Build Instructions

1. Clone this repo into vision_slam_frontend, and enter the directory.

   git clone [email protected]:umass-amrl/vision-slam-frontend.git vision_slam_frontend

   IMPORTANT: ROS does not like hyphens in package paths. Hence the change of name for the directory.
   All subsequent commands must be run from within the directory.
2. Add the project to the ROS packages path:

   export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/PATH/TO/YOUR/REPO:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH

   Pro-tip: add this line to your .bashrc file.
3. Run make.
   DO NOT RUN cmake directly.
   DO NOT RUN catkin_build or anything catkin-related.
