How to use a service defined in another package ?

edit

Hi all,

I am facing a compilation problem when I try to include a service.h file in a node located in another package. Here is the architecture :

rosfond/
    src/
        my_nodes.cpp
    include/
        ...
    srv/
        my_service.srv
hmi/
    src/
        my_other_nodes.cpp
    include/
        ...

I want to use my_service in the hmi package, and especially include my_service.h in my_other_nodes.cpp. For that, I wrote at the beginning of my_other_nodes.cpp #include "rosfond/my_service.h". I also use my_service in my_nodes.

When I try to compile my whole workspace, it fails. However, if I compile only rosfond, it works. So the problem seems to be related to how I include/link my_service in my_other_nodes and in the hmi's CMakeLists.txt.

Here are the CMakeLists.txt and the package.xml file of each package :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(rosfond)
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  rospy
  std_msgs
  message_generation
)
add_service_files(DIRECTORY srv FILES my_service.srv)
generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES std_msgs)
catkin_package(
 INCLUDE_DIRS include
#  LIBRARIES rosfond
 CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp rospy std_msgs
#  DEPENDS system_lib
)
include_directories(
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} 
  include
)
add_executable(my_nodes src/my_nodes.cpp)
target_link_libraries(my_nodes
  ${catkin_LIBRARIES}
)

The error message is : my_other_nodes.cpp : rosfond/my_service.h: No such file or directory.

Thanking you in advance for your answers,
