I tried to use this in my CMakefile :

rosbuild_add_executable(arp_core.arp arp_core_main.c) INSTALL(TARGETS arp_core.arp RUNTIME DESTINATION bin)

but the exe does go into the bin directory, it stays in the root of the package folder.

I also defined theses : set( CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}_SOURCE_DIR}) set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin) set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)

You're not doing any installing so the install command doesn't come in to play. This should do it:

set(RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)

see the docs at

cmake --help-full | less

You'd need to post your whole cmakelists for me to be sure.

After reading what a roscreate-pkg (didn't thougth about this because I am using orocos create macros) produces it seems that the necessary line is :

set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)

My problem was that this line was before the rosbuild_init() line in the CMakeList !

thanks for answering anyway.
