3 更改CMakelist文件

vim ~/joey_ws/src/serial/CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(serial)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp rospy std_msgs genmsg)

    catkin_package(
        LIBRARIES ${PROJECT_NAME}
        INCLUDE_DIRS include
        DEPENDS rt pthread
    )

set(serial_SRCS
    src/serial.cc
    include/serial/serial.h
    include/serial/v8stdint.h
)
    list(APPEND serial_SRCS src/impl/unix.cc)
    list(APPEND serial_SRCS src/impl/list_ports/list_ports_linux.cc)

## Add serial library
add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} ${serial_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} rt pthread)



add_executable(serial_example examples/serial_example.cc)
target_link_libraries(serial_example ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
##add_dependencies(serial_example package_name_generate_messages_cpp)
add_dependencies(serial_example ${PROJECT_NAME})
target_link_libraries(serial_example ${PROJECT_NAME})

## Include headers
include_directories(include)

## Install executable
install(TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME}
    ARCHIVE DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}
    LIBRARY DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_LIB_DESTINATION}
)

## Install headers
install(FILES include/serial/serial.h include/serial/v8stdint.h
  DESTINATION ${CATKIN_GLOBAL_INCLUDE_DESTINATION}/serial)

## Tests
if(CATKIN_ENABLE_TESTING)
    add_subdirectory(tests)
endif()

4 编译程序

cd ~/joey_ws/
catkin_make
source devel/setup.bash

5 运行程序
