[Rock-dev] Feedback on Rock-ROS Bridge - small issues to make it working

[Pierre Letier]

Here is a summary of my installation of the Rock-ROS bridge with 
highlight on two small issues-observations:

- I made a fresh installed of the Rock Master branch
- I followed the installation of the Rock-ROS bridge from the website 
(master branch)
- Issue 1 : I launch a test running roscore (groovy) and rock-display. 
This last doesn't display the ROS name service. By launching an amake 
command in the Rock root folder, it build things. After this, if I 
launch again rock-display I can see the ROS service and the input/ouput 
ports of my ROS nodes. Is it normal to have to run the amake command to 
make it working ?
- Issue 2: On my fresh installation of Rock, I compile my testing 
component using the Rock-ROS bridge. I have then an error related to 
Typekit: "Typekit input changed. Run make regen in your build directory 
first". Running this command in the build directory of my component 
solves this (I can now compile), but I am not sure it is normal to have 
this error on the first compilation. I have found on the OROCOS forum a 
topic related to that, that was normally solved some time ago :
