How do you catkin a specific package?
Building Single Packages
If you're only interested in building a single package in a workspace, you can also use the --no-deps option along with a package name. This will skip all of the package's dependencies, build the given package, and then exit.
Where does catkin install?
catkin packages can be built using the standard cmake workflow, i.e. invoke 'cmake <path/to/source space>', 'make', and then 'make install' all from the build space directory. The build space can be located anywhere, but typically we place it within the workspace at the same level as the source space.
