How do I specify in the CMakeList.txt the generation of messages and building of a library. I know how to generate messages only. But when I added a library that used these message the library was compiled before the messages had been generated.
So what is the correct way to do this?
Found the answer:
add_dependencies(CUASVNodelets lrs_cvimage_gencpp)
solved my problem in the package lrs_cvimage. For me this is not intuitive at all that I have to specify a dependency inside the package. I mean messages could always be generated before compiling.
This Q/A might help explain it: http://answers.ros.org/question/52744/how-to-specify-dependencies-with-foo_msgs-catkin-packages/
Definitely. https://github.com/ros/catkin_tutorials/issues/4

Regardless of catkin or rosbuild, the recommended practice is to define messages in a separate package. That might or might not help with this problem.
Yes, I usually do that. But for now I have a package were we have not split it that way. And that would have been a working solution if I had not found a working dependency.
