Hi, I have implemented a ROS library and I have "mylibrary.so" file. Now I want to use this library in another external project and I don't know how to do this. I have in my new project a CMakeLists.txt and in it I link my library in the following way:

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES("path_to_include_directory")
ADD_EXECUTABLE(foo main.cpp)

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(foo "path_to_my_library.so")

But this doesn't work and I get undefined reference to the implemented functions. My new project is not created with "catkininitworkspace" since it's not a 100% ROS project, so... If I want to use my ros library, my new project (that is not a 100% ROS project, only uses my ros library for 2 little tasks) must be created with the catkininitworkspace and create in it a node that uses this library? or are there any way to use my ros library into my new project without the catkin_workspace / node architecture?, I mean, creating something like:

-Project   
    |-build
    |-src
       |-CMakeLists.txt
       |-main.cpp

And inside CMakeLists.txt something like:

 TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(executable "path_to_my_library.so")

find_package(my_ROS_package REQUIRED)
include_directories(${my_ROS_package_INCLUDE_DIRS})
...
target_link_libraries(executable ${my_ROS_package_LIBRARIES})
