Combine two independent cmake projects into a single project

So I’ve two projects Azure C++ IOT SDK(used to send robot data like joint angles and positions to IotHub) and libfranka(used to interact with the robotic arm).

The purpose is to real-time data or telemetry from the robotic arm to my IoTHub.your text

My attempt at combining two projects:

  1. Added libfranka as a subdirectory to the toplevel CMAkeLists.txt file of azure-iot-sdk and used this command to compile the azure-iot-sdk
cmake -Bcmake -Duse_prov_client=ON -Dhsm_type_symm_key=ON -Drun_e2e_tests=OFF

Got this error


CMake Error at libfranka/test/CMakeLists.txt:10 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    SetupGoogleTest


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

gtest is already installed on my linux machine.

  1. Next I successfully compiled and installed libfranka(using the commands below) to use its header files in the azure-iot-sdk but it didn’t work as well.
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF ..
cmake --build .
sudo make install

I know that using

add_subdirectory(libfranka)

is not sufficient to add libfranka to the azure-iot-sdk.

Is there a simple way to combine these two projects?
