Hi, this is a new user to use Cmakelists. I want to use a C++ file which can help me analysis the json file. Normally, when I make it executable, I run g++ json.cpp -o -ljson However, when I tried to add the c++ file in the ros package, I have some problems to make them.

Here is my original makefile:

 LIB=-L/usr/local/lib/libjson/ -ljson

haha: a.o
    g++ -o a -std=c++0x a.o $(LIB)
sdfds: a.cpp 
    g++ -c a.cpp
# dfasasdf:
#   rm  a.o a
clean: 
    rm edit a.o

Here is my CMakelist.txt: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3) project(rosauth)

## Find catkin macros and libraries
## if COMPONENTS list like find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS xyz)
## is used, also find other catkin packages
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp message_generation rostest)

  target_link_libraries(ros_mac_authentication_test ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${GTEST_LIBRARIES} crypto dl pthread)
  add_rostest(test/ros_mac_authentication.test)
endif()


add_executable(json
  src/json.cpp
)
add_dependencies(json ${${PROJECT_NAME}_EXPORTED_TARGETS} ${catkin_EXPORTED_TARGETS})
target_link_libraries(json
  ${catkin_LIBRARIES} json_linux-gcc-4.8_libmt
)

And I catkin_make it. it gives me this hint.

You can try adding

find_package(PkgConfig REQUIRED)
pkg_check_modules(JSONCPP jsoncpp)

and changing include_directories and target_link_libraries as

include_directories(
  ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS}
  ${JSONCPP_INCLUDE_DIRS}
)

and

target_link_libraries(json
  ${catkin_LIBRARIES}
  ${JSONCPP_LIBRARIES}
)

Good luck.

Thanks Akif. I've tried your method recently. It didn't work because it tells me an error:

undefined reference to 'json::Value::Value'

so the cpp cannot find the location of the json file.

I've tried other method like directly add jsoncpp below target_link_directories. It workd.

But this jsoncpp is only a jsoncpp.a which is a static library. I want to add it in my path planner, it seems it cannot accept the static library there. You can see this question. https://answers.ros.org/question/2772... but now I don't know how add dynamic lib.
