Overview

The purpose of this package is to provide tools and utilities that assist people in developing with qt and ros with a minimum of effort.

Currently it includes templates and create scripts for quickly developing qt-based ros packages.

• roscreate-qt-pkg for quickly templating a qt-ros package.

• Includes a master chooser as a docking element.
• Rosbuild and catkin supported.

Installation

> sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-qt-ros

For a convenient roscreate-qt-legacy-pkg script to aid in building packages, download the pip roscreate package:

> sudo apt-get install python-pip
> sudo pip install --upgrade roscreate

Alternatively if you want to rosinstall, add the snippet to your rosinstall file or create a new one and overlay:

- git:
    uri: https://github.com/stonier/qt_ros.git
    local-name: qt_ros
    version: fuerte

The master branch has been catkinized so it will not work unless doing a catkin source install. This is probably only desirable if doing mingw based cross-compiles.
