${catkin_LIBRARIES} (is that ~/work_space/src/package_name/include ??)

${CATKIN_DEVEL_PREFIX}

${CATKIN_PACKAGE_PYTHON_DESTINATION}

${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}

${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}

${${PROJECT_NAME}_SRCS}) (is that ~/work_space/src/package_name/src ??)

${${PROJECT_NAME}_EXPORTED_TARGETS}

${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}

${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}

${CATKIN_PACKAGE_PYTHON_DESTINATION}

${CATKIN_PACKAGE_INCLUDE_DESTINATION}

${CATKIN_GLOBAL_INCLUDE_DESTINATION}

${CATKIN_PACKAGE_SHARE_DESTINATION}

locate in

and catkin_package( INCLUDE_DIRS include (is that ~/work_space/src/package_name/include ??)

LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME} (??? where it is???)

CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp (haha i understand this, it's refer to location of ros package, like roscpp is /opt/ros/indigo/share/roscpp)

DEPENDS eigen opencv) (should cmake projects under the path ~/work_space/src, before i use find_package marco ?)

I believe the catkin cmake documentation and catkin cmake variables will answer most of your questions.

awesome!! and thanks a lot, there is still one question left. ${catkin_LIBRARIES} does not mention in both website.

Section 5.2 of the catkin cmake documentation describes how find_package(catkin ...) sets up the catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS and other variables, which includes catkin_LIBRARIES.

in short, cakin_LIBRARIES is the list of all of the libraries (targets and real libraries) that you need to compile against the dependencies you specified in find_package(catkin ...)
