I see your point. The reason rbuild creates the directories is that rbuild can do it much faster than make. Make spawns one process per directory to be created whereas in rbuild it is all done within one process. Would a switch to rbuild be enough (specified using the ROS_RBUILDFLAGS environment variable)? E.g. "-mi" means make will handle the creation of the install directories through dependencies.

Hi,
for a simple make, the build process should not check if the path %ROS_INSTALL% exists. On my system it points to a network drive, which isn't a valid path if the test machine is switched off or is running ros.
