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 <export> section of the manifest.xml ?
