No CMakeLists.txt

Course Support ROS2 Navigation
1

In the second part of the course there are intructions when creating the cartographer package to edit the CMakeLists but if we create the package using python

ros2 pkg create --build-type ament_python <package_name>

There is no CMake file to edit.

Is there a reason to create the cartographer package using Cmake vs Python?

Hello @hilljtyler ,

It doesn’t really matter. You can create cartographer_slam as a Python package if you prefer it. In this case, you’ll need to edit the setup.py file in order to install the launch and config folders.
