Hi all,

I am a newer for ROS. I want to compile ROS programs with Eclipse, that includes libraries like openCV, openNI.

Without ROS, I just need to add the library files and paths under linux gcc compiler, which can be set in eclipse project properties.

As I want to publish the computational results to control an arduino board via ROS publisher, I setup the eclipse program with ROS

but I dont know how to add external libraries and setup the compiler, here are what the program needs:

Path:

/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib

lib:

-OpenNI
-XnVNite_1_5_2
-glut
-GLEW
-opencv_core
-opencv_highgui
-opencv_imgproc
-opencv_gpu
-opencv_ml
-opencv_video
-opencv_features2d
-opencv_calib3d
-opencv_objdetect
-opencv_contrib
-opencv_legacy
-opencv_flann

I cant find related tutorials, how can I compile the program successfully? Thanks a lot

Here are the setup steps I followed: http://www.ros.org/wiki/IDEs

Since you followed the tutorial on IDEs you should have an autogenerated Eclipse project. So in this case you have to change the setting related to a build process in relevant CMakeLists.txt file, not in Eclipse project settings.

To link additional libraries add target_link_libraries directive to your CMakeLists.txt:

rosbuild_add_executable(my_node src/my_node.cpp)
target_link_libraries(my_node GL GLU glut opencv_core opencv_gpu)

In general, though, you may want to use find_package routine -- many of the libraries has relevant "find" modules for CMake. In case there is no such module you can always fall back to FindPkgConfig package which is a wrapper for system pkg-config utility. Please see here for more details.
