Hi all, I am not really sure this question has a place on the ros-answer site (I'll copy this to it and auto answer me if you wish). I am a quite new ROS user and created my ros package which take a dependency (in my case eigen) I took my ages to find how to build this with thefollowing lines in my CMakelists.txt : #add the eigen dependency rosbuild_find_ros_package( eigen ) include_directories( ${eigen_PACKAGE_PATH}/include/src ) At the end it seems logical. I don't know if it is about my low knownledge about CMake, but I passed sometime searching in the documentation without any clue about this. First question, is it documented somewhere ? If not I would like to update the documentation but I don't know where is the rigth place : http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosbuild/CMakeLists/Examples : adding the use of another package for building, espacially the "include" directory (not so easy to find this page from scratch) http://www.ros.org/wiki/rosbuild/CMakeLists#rosbuild_find_ros_package : adding details about what you have to do after http://www.ros.org/wiki/eigen/Tutorials : adding the details in each packages tutorial "how to use me ?" Then, is it a roadmap in ROS on how a package gives the information to being used ? In my example is the include_directories( ${eigen_PACKAGE_PATH}/include/src ) package specific ? or is it a ROS habits ? Isn't it the job of ros dependencies system to add the includes ? for example in the section of the manifest.xml ?
