Linking graphics library to orogen projects

Dear Sir,

today I tryed to create an orogen module capable to show the 3D graphics model of a moving robot.
The module receives joint position using CORBA transport and displays the 3D robot model.

To reach this goal I used Irrlicht library.
I was forced to manually change the Cmake file generated by orogen in order to insert reference to
neded include and library files.

For me it was a difficult task, because I don't know Cmake and I spent a few hours reading an huge documentation.
At the end the module in working.

You have I deep knowledge of the tools used to build and mantain orogen and so I can ask you:
in this case the manual modification of generated Cmake file is the unique way to get the desired result?
Is there a more simple way to add library to an orogen project?

Thank you for your support.

For libraries that provide a pkg-config file, you can use the
"using_library" statement in the oroGen file

However, Irrlicht does not. So, in this case, cmake is indeed the only
option.
