Hi,

I have written a ros-wrapper for g2o [0] and wish to do a find_package(G2O REQUIRED) and include_directories(${G2O_INCLUDE_DIRS}) in my packages CMakeLists.txt

The library includes a FindG2O.cmake file which I also copied to my projects CMakeModules folder(not sure where the file should be), but still the find_package does't work. So, how are you supposed to find_package of external libraries you have written a ros-wrapper for? I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and Fuerte.

Another question would be, if the external library you wrapped in ROS, doesn't have a Find.cmake file, do you have to write one yourself in order to use find_package?

Cheers,

Oier

I'll answer myself. You don't to write a FindFoo.cmake file nor use a find_package in you CMakeLists. The bug was, that my g2o wrapper didn't export the lflags correctly in it Manifest file. For my needs, it had to look like this:

<cpp cflags="-I${prefix}/include" lflags="-L${prefix}/lib -lg2o_stuff -lg2o_core -lg2o_solver_csparse -lg2o_csparse_extension"/>
