Including ros into scons project

edit

Hi,

I have built ros from sources (specifically ros2 bouncy bolson). The result is that I have a workspace containing all the header and lib files.

Now I would like to write a ros node inside a project which is built using Scons. How should I include and link properly all the required stuffs?

My program is just an hello world which includes the C++ client library

#include <iostream>
#include "rclcpp/rclcpp.hpp"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  std::cout<<"Hello World!"<<std::endl;
  return 0;
}

Sconstruct file

 env = Environment()
 env.Append(CXXFLAGS = ['-std=c++14'])
 env.Append(CPPPATH = ['<PATH_TO_ROS2_WS>/install/rclcpp/include', .....])
 env.Append(LIB_PATH=['<PATH_TO_ROS2_WS>/install/rclcpp/lib', ....])
 env.Program("hello_ros", ["hello_ros.cpp"])

I tried to manually append one by one to the environment the path to ROS2 include dirs and library locations.

UPDATE: I was getting an error due to the CXXFLAGS set to c++11, ROS2 requires C++14.

Is there a way to let Scons find the ROS2 include and library files, instead of having to manually specify them (they are a lot if I'm not using the --merge-install flag during the ros2 build)?

Thanks
