When attempting to compile the ardrone_brown node using "rosmake", I get errors indicating that the SDL library is not being linked as shown below.

 Linking CXX executable ../bin/ardrone_driver

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and ROS Fuerte. libsdl1.2-dev is installed, linkable, and usable by other (non-ROS) programs. Looking in the CMakeLists.txt within the ardrone_brown node's root directory, the following line is at the very bottom, which I think tells the compiler to link SDL.

target_link_libraries(ardrone_driver vlib pc_ardrone SDL sdk)

Is there something I'm missing? Any ideas what could be wrong?

The problem was worked around by moving SDL to the end of the target_link_libraries(...) list in CMakeLists.txt. This solution was described here: http://code.google.com/p/brown-ros-pkg/issues/detail?id=10#c1
