Revision history [back]

I didn't actually try this, but I believe this should be the general procedure:

First, add a directory for svn-based installs, for example

mkdir ~/ros

Next, add it to your path, by editing /opt/ros/electric/setup.sh to say

export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/home/<username>/ros:/opt/ros/electric/stacks

Clone the svn version of vision_opencv

cd ~/ros
svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/vision_opencv/trunk

Edit the CMakeLists.txt in cv_bridge to say:

set(ROS_BUILD_TYPE Debug)

Finally, compile it:

rosmake cv_bridge
