Hello,
Could someone explain the proper way how to link external libraries to ros cpp node in the cmake. For example I want to use libserial in my node to control the driver. Fro that I have installed the lib by using this commands:
sudo apt install libserial-dev
And now I have to link that lib in the cmake
Thanks in advance!
I want to answer my own question, to clarify which way I found and what is the proper as I consider.
Basically, you have to add folder with header files and the library itself. You can do it with find_package, or manually.
The header files you have to include in "include_libraries" like I did:
include_directories( ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Qt5Core_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Qt5WebSockets_INCLUDE_DIRS} /usr/include )
And the library itself, you can add with "target_link_libraries", like this:
add_executable(driver src/driver_node.cpp) target_link_libraries(driver ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT} /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libserial.so)
