CMake Install Targets

I have a project with one executable and multiple libraries. When installing this package, I get a shared libraries error: 

/opt/ros/hydro/lib/handle_detector/localization: error while loading shared libraries: libaffordances_lib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Now, I have added the libraries as install targets to the CMakeLists.txt, but I'm still wondering whether it is correct.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(handle_detector)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS 
    eigen_conversions 
  geometry_msgs 
    message_generation 
  roscpp 
    pcl_ros
  pcl_conversions
  std_msgs 
    tf
    tf_conversions
  visualization_msgs)

find_package(LAPACK REQUIRED)

find_package(Eigen REQUIRED)
include_directories(${Eigen_INCLUDE_DIRS})

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-DNDEBUG -O3 -fopenmp")

add_message_files(
  FILES
  CylinderMsg.msg
  CylinderArrayMsg.msg
  HandleListMsg.msg
)

generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES geometry_msgs)

  ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}

That looks reasonable. I would start troubleshooting by trying to confirm that all of your libraries are actually getting installed into the lib directory.

I'm wondering whether the LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME} is actually correct in your catkin_package(..) call. You do specify a number of library targets, but none of them have the name of your project (ie: handle_detector).

So, e.g., the line add_library(affordances_lib src/affordances.cpp) would become add_library(${PROJECT_NAME}affordances src/affordances.cpp), right? And I would have to change all other places where this library is used in the CMakeLists.txt?

For now, I would just remove the LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME} from your catkin_package call.

@atp: I'd follow @ahendrix advice: just remove that line for now and try to get your package working first.

I did remove it yesterday. Thanks for the advice!

If this is resolved for you, can you post a answer to that effect? Thanks!
