Hi

I am new to colcon and ros in general, so please forgive my newby question. I completed the all the beginner ROS2 tutorials and all went well.

Now I am trying to compile some third party code into a library (feetech_driver) to use in another ROS package (ft_joint). I have been able to compile the library and the output files are copied to

ros_ws/install/feetech_driver
      |-include
      |-lib
      |-share

All the header files are in the ros_ws/install/feetech_driver/include/feetech_driver directory

My other ROS package (ft_joint) that is trying to use this library package cannot find the required header file, I am including it like so,

#include "feetech_driver/SCSCL.h"

As part of my ft_joint package I also include files from the tutorial_interfaces tutorial and I can include those without error, like so,

#include "tutorial_interfaces/msg/num.hpp"

My CMakeList.txt has a find_package for both packages, like so

find_package(tutorial_interfaces REQUIRED)
find_package(feetech_driver REQUIRED)

The error that I get when I run

colcon build --packages-select ft_joint

is

/home/stewart/ros/dev_ws/src/ft_joint/src/joint_node.cpp:6:10: fatal error: feetech_driver/SCSCL.h: No such file or directory
    6 | #include "feetech_driver/SCSCL.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Stew
