Catkin conversion: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lPACKAGE_NAME

I'm trying to convert some packages to catkin from rosbuild but one of my packages, "clam_controller", keeps getting the error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lclam_controller

Which appears to me to be trying to link against itself. Nothing else is yet linking to this library - nothing depends on clam_controller yet.

I'm sure this is a simple fix but I have tried everything I could in tweaking my new CMakeLists.txt. The super simple old rosbuild script is here.

I'm on Groovy and Ubuntu 12.04.

Thanks!

In your CMakeLists your telling it to link against that:

target_link_libraries(joint_state_aggregator 
  ${PROJECT_NAME} ${catkin_LIBRARIES} )

just remove ${PROJECT_NAME}
