Cmake files are not generated

[wirew0rm]

After compilation there are no cmake files in ./devel/lib/cmake/glog and it is impossible to do find_package(glog 0.3.5 REQUIRED) in packages depending on glog in the same workspace as described here.

I could not find the difference to gflags_catkin, where everything works as expected.

I'm on ubuntu 18.04 lts xenial and ROS kinetic, using catkin build to build gflags_catkin and glog_catkin.

Minimal example to reproduce:

mkdir -p  ~/testws/src
cd ~/testws
catkin init
wstool init src
wstool set -t src catkin_simple --git https://github.com/catkin/catkin_simple.git
wstool set -t src gflags_catkin --git https://github.com/ethz-asl/gflags_catkin.git
wstool set -t src glog_catkin --git https://github.com/ethz-asl/glog_catkin.git
wstool update -t src
catkin build
ls -R devel/lib/cmake/

produces:

devel/lib/cmake/:
    gflags
devel/lib/cmake/gflags:
    gflags-config.cmake  gflags-config-version.cmake  gflags-targets.cmake  gflags-targets-release.cmake

I would expect to also see a glog subfolder containing .cmake files for glog.

This seems to be intended behaviour when not building with cmake but with autotools, according to google/glog#398 (comment)
I'll try to migrate to using CMake for the build to get cmake files.

I fixed this in tu-darmstadt-ros-pkg@82760fa by using CMake to build, but now static libraries are not built and the documentation is not installed.

I did not find an easy way to add them to the cmake output and as for us only the dynamic library and the cmake files are important I cannot investigate further.

Thank you! I had the same problem with the glog package by eth. Your version worked for me.
BTW are you ok with kinetic on ubuntu 18.04?
