Hello.

I'm beggeing with ROS I'm studing CMakeLists.txt using diffrent approches to execute same code. I have a problem with the linking phase of compilation of two user defined packages :

pkg1 : sphero_imu_reader I've defined a Class ImuTopicReader

pkg 2 : sphero_crash_server I've defined a Class CrashServer

I want to use the Class ImuTopicReader inside CrashServer class

the files:

  • sphero_imu_reader :

    ->src/topic_reader.h
    ->src/topic_reader.cpp
    
    • sphero_crash_server :

       ->/include/sphero_crash_server/topic_reader.h
       ->src/topic_reader.h
       ->src/topic_reader.cpp
      

I've got these problems :

fatal error: topic_reader.h: no such file or directory

You should change a litlle bit your layout to have things working (and respect ROS standards), organize your files like that first :

catkin_ws/
  src/
    sphero_imu_reader/
      src/
        topic_reader.cpp
      include/
        sphero_imu_reader/
          topic_reader.h
    sphero_crash_server/
      src/
        server.cpp
      include/
        sphero_crash_server/
          server.h

Now for your both CMakeLists.txt, just add this inside catkin_package() function :

INCLUDE_DIRS include

Now in server.h you can add this line and use the class ImuTopicReader inside the class CrashServer :

#include "sphero_imu_reader/topic_reader.h"

Note : You might have cpp issues when calling the constructor but your first error should be gone.

I've edited the layout its didn't even compile for the ImuTopicReader pakacge. I checked many projects on github they haven't used that convention of putting .h only in the include folder

its didn't even compile for the ImuTopicReader pakacge What is the error exactly ?

Also have you made the changes in CmakeLists.txt to tell that the headers are in the include file as I told you at the end of my answer ?

I checked many projects on github they haven't used that convention

Were they official ros packages ? You can see this layout in packages like move_base, there is even a ros_best_practices package using this layout. Can you tell me one of those package ?

  • I've changed the CmaleLists.txt and I try to compile ImuTopicReader and I've got this error : fatal error: sphero_imu_reader/topic_reader.h: no such file or dir

Can you edit your question to show us the new CMakeLists.txt files and also the source files please ? And aalso the description of your layout too, for both packages.
