Problem during installation about hector_quadrotor HOT 1 CLOSED

Make sure that all dependencies are installed before you compile from source. The standard approach is to use the the rosdep tool for that. The wiki page is a little bit outdated. I could only find the important command line for catkin workspaces in a ROS answers post here:

cd ~/~hector_quadrotor_tutorial
rosdep install --from-path src --ignore-src --rosdistro indigo

This will install all dependencies of packages found in the src folder. The rosdep install [package] approach found in the wiki does not work for catkin workspaces.

Perhaps we should add this command to the tutorials at http://wiki.ros.org/hector_quadrotor/Tutorials, but on the other side this topic deserves a more general tutorial "How to build packages from source" in the ROS wiki as it is not hector_quadrotor specific. I could not find one.
