CMake Frontend¶

To utilise ecl cmake modules, you'll need two things:

• Include ecl_build as a dependency in your package's manifest.xml (this allows you to rosbuild_include).
• Set up your CMakeLists.txt to bring in ecl's cmake macro libraries, similar to the following example

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)

include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake)
rosbuild_init()
# These just bring in the macro definitions, they don't actually do anything
rosbuild_include(ecl_build ecl_build_utilities)
rosbuild_include(ecl_build ecl_platform_detection)
rosbuild_include(ecl_build ecl_ros_utilities)

# The following are an example of some of the macro api available
# Refer to ecl_build's documentation or the cmake files themselves for more
# details.
ecl_detect_platform()  # general purpose platform sniffer
ecl_add_uninstall_target()
ecl_ros_output_paths() # define bin, lib as the standard ros package output paths

# Actual build stuff here

ecl_summary_platform()
