[package]_INCLUDE_DIRS filled incorrectly about ament_cmake HOT 2 CLOSED

I am not sure if you have seen the ROS support guidelines but we kindly ask to raise questions like this on answers.ros.org instead.

The rational for asking all kind of questions in a single place is:

• There are many more people reading questions there so your chances on getting an answer and in a timely manner are much higher.
• In the future other users will search there for similar problems and can find your question and the potential answers.
• The issue tracker in this repo is used to track bugs, feature requests, etc. But your question is not such an action item.

Therefore I will close this ticket here for now. If you have asked your question on answers.ros.org please feel free to add a link to the question to this ticket so that future readers can find the related question.

Please do include the source code or a reference to it in the question since otherwise it will be difficult to give you specific feedback.

I realized that I was misusing the CMake Message macro; resulting in the multiple paths being smashed together in to one long path /opt/ros/ardent/include/home/.../workspace/install/include/home/.../workspace/install/include.

To me, this looked like a bug with Ament; I would expect them to be delimited. It turns out that when I fix my call to the message macro, they are indeed delimited by semicolons -- /opt/ros/ardent/include;/home/.../workspace/install/include;/home/.../workspace/install/include.

So at this point I agree that it's less of a bug report and more of a question that belongs elsewhere; however, I'm leaving this comment in case it is a bug that B_INCLUDE_DIRS paths even when I don't call ament_export_include_dirs in B's CMakeLists.
