Hi,

I have a package with

catkin_project( INCLUDE_DIRS include1 include2 )

and this generate <package>.pc under devel (./devel/lib/pkgconfig/<package>.pc) that contians

Cflags: -I.../include1 -I../include2

but <packge>.pc under build/..../catkin_generated/installspace/<package>.pc becomes

Cflags: -I/tmp/catkin_ws/install/include

It this expected behavior? Why it is not

Cflags -I/tmp/catkin_ws/install/include/<package>/include1 -I/tmp/catkin_ws/install/include/<package>/include2

This is expected behavior. In install space you should have installed all header (from potentially various locations in source) into a single include folder (following FHS).

With catkin, you need to explicitly install any headers you export. See: http://ros.org/doc/groovy/api/catkin/html/howto/building_libraries.html#installing

Thanks for the answer! I'm trying to release 3rd-parity library that does not follows FHS standard, using catkin/bloom. Is there any good examples for this?

The link above is the recommended solution.
