Hi.
I'm trying to reference a non-ROS package through one of my ROS package but I not have found the correct option in the CMakeList to make this correctly. I want to include the .h of this non-ROS package on to my files, but i don't find the method to make visible.
Thanks in advance and sorry for this simple question, but I don't find any answer in the tutorials.
You use the standard cmake directives, i.e.
include_directories(dir...) and target_link_libraries(bin lib...).
Additionally it is good practice to make a rosdep entry in the manifest if the library is a system package, so that other users can install the dependencies.
If you're trying to use software already installed on your system @dornhege has the right answer. If you're downloading and compiling the source inside your package you need to add the include_directories(dir...) and to expose the .h files upstream you need to add an export to your manifest for cflags
Finally I solved the problem using the @dornhege answer and improvising a little. As you may know, you can link libraries with target_link_libraries, but if you want to link a object you must convert first the source (.cc, .cpp, ...) in a library (creating it with rosbuild_add_library) and latter link it with this command.
My problem was that I was trying to link directly a object as if was a library. But, there is any form to link directly a .o file without converting it firstly in a library?
