Setting up Raspicam Module

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicam/files/raspicam-0.1.6.zip

unzip raspi.... cd raspicam && cd build

Now edit the CMakeList.txt in the OpenCV portion to contain SET("OpenCV_DIR" "/home/pi/homescripts/opencv/build")

cmake .. followed by make followed by sudo make install

Now in our project CMake file we add the following lines

SET("raspicam_DIR" "/usr/local/lib/cmake/")
find_package(raspicam REQUIRED)
...
...

target_link_libraries(car_ctrl ${raspicam_CV_LIBS})
target_link_libraries(car_ctrl ${raspicam_LIBS})
