catkin build package_name can't link shared libraries that are in catkin_ws/devel/lib correctly

[yuzhangbit]

There are some problems with catkin build command.

ROS package1 generated a shared library and I install it into catkin_ws/devel/ . Package2 links the shared lib generated by package1. When I run catkin build package2, it reports

CMake Error at /opt/ros/indigo/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:83 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "package1"
......................

If I run catkin build package1(no error when building package1), then run catkin build package2. I got

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpackage1
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

If I delete catkin_ws/build and catkin_ws/devel and run catkin_make in catkin_ws, there is no error at all.

It seem catkin build can't handle dependences of ros packages and can't link shared libs correctly.

@yuzhangbit Can you post the example packages that you think should be building?
