A pre-build local source install of the ROS navigtion stack, Turtlebot backends, and dependencies
This repository is a ros workspace. So please clone it to your home folder (as per the instructions below. If you put in inside a pre-existing catkin workspace...well, things will get interesting.
The build configuration has been customized to compile all packages a position-independent executables/libs. So (if it has been set up correctly), you might not nessisarily have to recompile it -- the libs and binaries, should (in theory, anyway) be functional on your own system.

# 2) make sure you use version 1.7, NOT 1.8

catkin_make
You should be good to go. However, I strongly suggest that you link this workspace to your catkin_ws, so that catkin_make does not re-evaluate all these packages every time you want to rebuild your own projects
