Found solution:
*##########################################################################
1 ) created a folder cmake
in the "first package" and added a file pkg_config_extras.cmake
into it. It contains:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
set( My_Var "Hello World" )
*##########################################################################
2) to make My_Var viewable in the "first package" 's CMakeLists.txt I added:
include( cmake/pkg_config_extras.cmake )
----> now I can output it there with correct result:
message( "My_Var = ${My_Var}" )
----> Result:
My_Var = Hello World
*##########################################################################
3) to make My_Var viewable in the "second package" 's CMakeLists.txt ("second package" depends on the "first package") I needed to add in the "first package" 's CMakeLists.txt a CFG_EXTRAS
when calling catkin_package
:
catkin_package(
INCLUDE_DIRS include # unchanged, whatever was there before
LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME} # unchanged, whatever was there before
CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp # unchanged, whatever was there before
DEPENDS OpenCV # unchanged, whatever was there before
CFG_EXTRAS pkg_config_extras.cmake # added this line !!!!
)
----> now I can also output it in the "second package" 's CmakeLists.txt with correct result:
message( "My_Var = ${My_Var}" )
----> Result:
My_Var = Hello World
