Target UUID::UUID does not exist

[osrf-migration]

Original report (archived issue) by Anonymous.

I have been trying to update an older ROS-Gazebo project, to gazebo 9 that is using ignition math:

https://github.com/ethz-asl/rotors_simulator

Currently I am running Ubuntu 18.04, and Gazebo 9.1 and cmake 3.10.2.

When I compile the code get an error from CMAKE, that looks like this:

CMake Error at /home/martin/ros_sim_drone/src/rotors_simulator/rotors_gazebo_plugins/CMakeLists.txt:26 (target_link_libraries):
  Error evaluating generator expression:

    $<TARGET_PROPERTY:UUID::UUID,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>

  Target "UUID::UUID" not found.

The whole response looks like this:

  keywords when unquoted.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0054" for policy
  details.  Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this
  warning.

  Quoted variables like "chrono" will no longer be dereferenced when the
  policy is set to NEW.  Since the policy is not set the OLD behavior will be
  used.

Diging a bit futher I found the following lines in gazebo-config.cmake

# Find Ignition Math
find_package(ignition-math4 REQUIRED)
list(APPEND GAZEBO_INCLUDE_DIRS ${IGNITION-MATH_INCLUDE_DIRS})
list(APPEND GAZEBO_LIBRARY_DIRS ${IGNITION-MATH_LIBRARY_DIRS})
list(APPEND GAZEBO_LIBRARIES ${IGNITION-MATH_LIBRARIES})

This lead me to "ignition-math4/ignition-math4-config.cmake" where I found this line:

set(ignition-math4_LIBRARIES ignition-math4::ignition-math4)

These libray difinitions for ignition seems to be my current problem with my projects cmake script. I am unsure how this fix it, to get the correct library links for my project.
