roscd visp
ViSP recent snapshots are available from ViSP download page.
To use for example ViSP-2.6.3-snapshot-2012.12.19.zip snapshot you may modify the beginning of the visp/Makefile file like this:
all: visp VERSION = 2.6.3-snapshot-2012.12.19 TARBALL = build/ViSP-$(VERSION).tar.gz TARBALL_URL = \ https://gforge.inria.fr/frs/download.php/31907/ViSP-2.6.3-snapshot-2012.12.19.zip UNPACK_CMD = unzip SOURCE_DIR = build/ViSP-$(VERSION) #MD5SUM_FILE = ViSP-$(VERSION).tar.gz.md5sum INSTALL_DIR = install ...
To build visp package just run:
make wipe rosdep install visp rosmake visp
