[ros-users] rosmake doesn't wait for rosbuild_gensrv to complete

[Mike Vande Weghe]

Darn, that was an obvious mistake.  I should have seen that.

Well, that seems to have fixed the dependency problem, but now it's
introducing a new error in the way the code is generated:

  [100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/mytraj.dir/MyTraj.o
  Linking CXX shared library ../lib/libmytraj.so
  /usr/bin/ld:
/homes/mvandewe/pr/branches/mike/owd/lib/libopenwam.a(Trajectory.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.bss' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
  /homes/mvandewe/pr/branches/mike/owd/lib/libopenwam.a: could not read
symbols: Bad value
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[3]: *** [../lib/libmytraj.so] Error 1

Is the rosbuild_add_library() setting different compile flags than
cmake's own add_library()?  I wasn't getting this error before, and my
compiled library loaded just fine, too.

Thanks,

  Mike
