Add external libraries to CMakeList.txt c++
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
