How do I solve undefined reference to interactive_markers

I am trying to compile the simple_marker.cpp tutorial with catkin_make in Hydro and I am getting an undefined reference error:


> CMakeFiles/simple_marker.dir/src/simple_marker.cpp.o: In function `main':
simple_marker.cpp:(.text+0x362): undefined reference to `interactive_markers::InteractiveMarkerServer::InteractiveMarkerServer(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, bool)'

I think it's because of my CMakeFiles.txt:

I am able to run the basic controls tutorial in rviz, but I did not compile it, just installed the package and ran: rosrun interactive_marker_tutorials basic_controls

Can someone let me know if it is a CMakeLists thing or am I way off. I have not been able to find a CMakeLists example for an interactive marker node.

Thanks

I have exactly the same error and I could not solve it with these recommendations. Has anyone else had this same error?

I have the same error but my CMakelist.txt is so big and complicated that the recommendations do not work at all :(

Yeah, I'm also getting the same error again and again. As a beginner, it is too hard to figure out what is really going on.

It appears you don´t have the dependency on the interactive_markers package defined in your package. For an example of how to do that, you can look at the turtlebot_interactive_markers package, which is a pretty simple example of a package using interactive_markers in catkin. The relevant parts are in the CMakeLists.txt and package.xml files.

Thank you! I had been looking for an example and just couldn't find it. I'll respond when I get a results.

That did the trick! I was able to update my CMakeLists with the following: find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS pcl_conversions pcl_ros roscpp sensor_msgs visualization_msgs interactive_markers ) I added the "visualization_msgs" and "interactive_markers" and it worked. Thanks.

Thanks, @stefan. This solved my problem too.
