Hi there, I guess this is more of a conceptual question, what are the differences (or even benefits) of running:
catkin_init_workspace
inside the workspace/src directory vs running:
catkin_make
In the root of the workspace. According to me they are equal and I've always preferred to just create the workspace and src inside and then run **catkin_make** directly, but I haven't found out if there are big differences from one to the other.
Thanks for your time!
**EDIT**:
I've seen that `catkin_init_workspace` will:
" Actually, it creates a symbolic link to a system-wide CMakeLists.txt file."
