qt_create

This package is for making QT based GUI ROS package in terminal.

Because ARM PC's can't install qt_ros_plugin, you can use this package to make fully fuctional QT ROS package.

If you want to know how this works, please go to this repo -> https://github.com/mjlee111/qtros

Enter

$ catkin_create_qt_pkg [package name] [dependencies]

The created package already includes std_msgs and roscpp so you don't have to add it.
