[ros-dev] Please tell me

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hi Fan,
reinstalling to test every small change is quite timeconsuming. I  
suggest you directly mount your virtual machine's harddrive (tools  
exists for this, e.g. VDK, or some virtual machines provide their own  
tools), and directly copy changed files into existing ros  
installation. Furthermore, if you set an env var ROS_INSTALL to Z: 
\ReactOS, and you mount VM harddrive to the letter Z:\, you can issue  
"make module_install" (e.g. make ntoskrnl_install) in RosBE, and it  
will automatically build and copy the file to the installation  
directory.

Hope this helps,
Aleksey.
