Including files from another catkin workspace
I'm having difficulty setting the include paths that I need for a ros node I'm building.
I need to include some header files from a different catkin workspace in order to use some services from another custom node. The catkin workspace path of with the header files I need is '~/ptu47_wss' under this the path '/src/dp_ptu47_pan_tilt_stage/include/dp_ptu47_msgs' contains the include files I need.
The catkin workspace for the project I'm working on is called 'catkin_project' and is in my home directory the same as 'ptu47_wss'
How do I set up my CMakeLists.txt file so that these header files can be included in my project?
Thanks, Pete
Could this be an xy-problem? Workspace overlaying as mentioned by @joq would certainly work, but do you have any particular reason for not placing the
dp_ptu47_pan_tilt_stagepackage in the same workspace as your other node?Good point. Overlays are not required if all your dependencies are together in your main workspace. (But technically, any dependencies on
/opt/ros/indigo/are also a sort of overlay.)
