How to use PCL 1.7 in ROS

copied from an answer at

source :  http://answers.ros.org/question/44821/updating-to-pcl-17-in-ros-fuerte/


Ok, I believe I figured out the update for using pcl17.
change directories to your ROS_PACAKGE_PATH

Download the packages from the link below
once you have these checked out change folders,

do

rosdep install
and
rosmake

on each pcl17 and pcl17_ros. Side note, it took a while to run rosmake on pcl17 so make sure you give it enough time.
If you are planning to use these in your package for say a pcl tutorial you have to change your 'manifest.xml'

depend package  = pcl17

and

depend package = pcl17_ros
Once you've done this make sure to update all your references from pcl::  to pcl17::  in your code
