I think this has been answered here already.

The ROS build is based on CMake. You can find a basic tutorial on CMake here.

I can share you one example:glut

CMakeLists.txt

 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)

 include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake)



 # Set the build type.  Options are:

 #  Coverage       : w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization, w/ code-coverage

 #  Debug          : w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization

 #  Release        : w/o debug symbols, w/ optimization

 #  RelWithDebInfo : w/ debug symbols, w/ optimization

 #  MinSizeRel     : w/o debug symbols, w/ optimization, stripped binaries

 #set(ROS_BUILD_TYPE RelWithDebInfo)



 rosbuild_init()



 #set the default path for built executables to the "bin" directory

 set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)

 #set the default path for built libraries to the "lib" directory

 set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)



 #uncomment if you have defined messages

 #rosbuild_genmsg()

 #uncomment if you have defined services

 #rosbuild_gensrv()

 rosbuild_add_executable(glut_test src/glut_test.cpp)

 target_link_libraries(glut_test /usr/lib/libglut.a)

 target_link_libraries(glut_test /usr/lib/libglut.so)

glut_test.cpp

 #include <GL/glut.h>



 void renderScene(void) {    

     glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);

     glBegin(GL_TRIANGLES);

     glVertex3f(-0.5,-0.5,0.0);

     glVertex3f(0.5,0.0,0.0);

     glVertex3f(0.0,0.5,0.0);

     glEnd();

     glFlush();

 }



 int main(int argc, char **argv) {

     glutInit(&argc, argv);

     glutInitDisplayMode(GLUT_DEPTH | GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGBA);

     glutInitWindowPosition(100,100);

     glutInitWindowSize(320,320);

     glutCreateWindow("3D Tech- GLUT Tutorial");

     glutDisplayFunc(renderScene);

     glutMainLoop();

     return 0;

 }

Hi All, When I compile my (non-ROS) programs with the third party libraries, I need to provide gcc with some options as well as paths to include head files and libraries. Usually this is how the gcc command looks like:

gcc -Imy_include_files_path -SOME_OPTIONS -Lmy_library_files_path source.c

Now I want to use these third party libraries with ROS, how can I specify those options in ROS?

With Many Thanks,

Hi All,

If I want to compile and build an ROS node with some other third party libraries, how & where should I modify the ROS Makefile so those third party libraries can be linked into the ROS node? Are there related online documents to which I can refer?

With Many Thanks!
