Add external libraries to CMakeList.txt c++
c++, cmake, libraries
Solution
I would start with upgrade of CMAKE version.
You can use INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES for header location and LINK_DIRECTORIES + TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES for libraries
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(your/header/dir)
LINK_DIRECTORIES(your/library/dir)
rosbuild_add_executable(kinectueye src/kinect_ueye.cpp)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(kinectueye lib1 lib2 lib2 ...)
note that `lib1` is expanded to `liblib1.so` (on Linux), so use ln to create appropriate links in case you do not have them
Problem
I have my external library as shown in this picture that I create the symbolic links after: and the headers related to the library in other file: I'm working with `ROS ubuntu` and I need to add these libraries to my package to `CmakeList.txt`: ``` cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6) include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake) 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 ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib) #common commands for building c++ executables and libraries #rosbuild_add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} src/example.cpp) #target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} another_library) #rosbuild_add_boost_directories() #rosbuild_link_boost(${PROJECT_NAME} thread) #rosbuild_add_executable(example examples/example.cpp) #target_link_libraries(example ${PROJECT_NAME}) rosbuild_add_executable(kinectueye src/kinect_ueye.cpp) ``` So my question is how can I add these folders (I think the first one that I need to add I'm not sure) to my `CmakeList.txt` file so as I can use the classes and the methods in my program.
