Hi, I don't know about the manifest.xml, but you can set variables in the CMakeLists.txt file, in the same folder as manifest.xml. Try: set (OpenCV_LIBRARIES /the/path/to/my/libs) Benoit -----Original Message----- From: Markus Bader Sent: Monday, March 28, 2011 10:41 AM To: ros-users Subject: [ros-users] Name of the CMake variables defined by the manifest.xml Hello I am interested how the "depend package" statements in manifest.xml file are related to variables within cmake. My problem is that I compiling non ROS libraries within a ros package and i need to cmake variables defining the include path and libraries names. A an example: I defined within my manifest I like to link now the opencv to my non ROS libraries and i need a cmake variable defining the opencv shared libs like OpenCV_LIBRARIES pointing to the ros opencv.
