Question

CMake fails to detect roscpp and geometry_msgs CMake files without further modification

Describe the bug
The default Makefile script will not detect roscpp or geometry_msgs. I need to manually do the same thing it would do while manually specifying their locations to compile.

Compile log
Without any modification:

libsurvive-testneeded % make
mkdir -p bin
cd bin && cmake .. && cmake --build .

including geometry_msgs with cmake .. -Droscpp_DIR=/usr/share/roscpp/cmake -Dgeometry_msgs_DIR=/usr/share/geometry_msgs/cmake finally works to configure it. This is not an ideal situation as it bypasses the normal make script, and I'm not sure if this is the proper way to do it.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Gentoo Linux

Additional context
I am currently trying to write my own ebuild to automatically build and install libsurvive (and any XR libraries one would want) on Gentoo. So, I am trying to find a way to make everything go smoothly in that regard without relying on weird workarounds. This would be my first fully custom ebuild.

@happysmash27 happysmash27 I experienced the same problem with my custom package. For some reason my package can not find roscpp but others in my catkin workspace can. Now it cannot build without specifying roscpp_DIR and similar for all other ros package depends (my catkin build command is very long now). If you have any additional insight as to why this happened please let me know.
