GeographicLib编译踩坑笔记

cmake文件

find_package (GeographicLib REQUIRED)

include_directories(${GeographicLib_INCLUDE_DIRS})
list(APPEND ALL_TARGET_LIBRARIES ${GeographicLib_LIBRARIES})

报错

cmake/geographic.cmake:1 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindGeographicLib.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
  project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "GeographicLib", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "GeographicLib"
  with any of the following names:

    GeographicLibConfig.cmake
    geographiclib-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "GeographicLib" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "GeographicLib_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "GeographicLib" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.

解决办法

1.安装

sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-geographic-*
sudo apt-get install geographiclib-*
sudo apt-get install libgeographic-*

2. 修改cmake文件路径

在ubuntu18.04环境下，安装完package后，cmake编译依然找不到路径。

原因是：

The geographiclib-dev installer puts the FindGeographicLib.cmake file in: /usr/share/cmake/geographiclib/FindGeographicLib.cmake

The correct location is: /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules   

Indeed it depends by the version of cmake currently installed. 

解决方法:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/cmake/geographiclib/FindGeographicLib.cmake /usr/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/
