Hi devs,

I would like to use the orocreate-pkg macro to create empty packages with
only support libraries (i.e., no Orocos component nor typekit inside).

When doing 'orocreate-pkg myLib support', I have several issues; only the
first one is blocking IMO:
1. the library name in the CMake file is "support", meaning that all
support libs will have the same name! I think "myLib", or "myLib-support"
would be better!
2. the CMake file and the manifest.xml file add a dependency to 'rtt' that
is not needed for 'support-only' packages

Actually, none of this points are blocking ME ;)
I just would like my "users" to do an 'orocreate-pkg myLib support', modify
almost only the 'src' folder, and then 'amake myLib' to compile and
install...

Rock has a very nice tool in that sense: rock-create-lib.
It also helps filling the manifest.xml file, and even ask for dependencies!

Would it be possible to port that tool to the orocos-toolchain also?
I would like to avoid creating a dependency to Rock.base only for that
tool...

Charles
