Hellow everyone,

I have a problem with compiling my code and I can't seem to find the solution anywhere. I'm using PCL. My main is in a one file named main.cpp. The code inside is irrelevant. The thing is in order to use the fromROSMsg() pcl_ros function I need to declare it somewhere in the main file. Like for example I have a function callback() for now that is used absolutely nowhere in the code later on like this :

void callback(){
  const sensor_msgs::PointCloud2ConstPtr& cloudy;
  pcl::PointCloud<pcl::PointXYZRGBA> cloud;
  pcl::fromROSMsg(*cloudy, cloud);  
}

And this function is absolutely of no use later on since my callback function is actually a class function somewhere else using fromROSMsg by herself. but if I don't include this function somewhere in the main file here is the result of CMake :

/home/ros/catkin_ws/devel/lib/lib3Dmain.so: undefined reference to 'pcl::console::print(pcl::console::VERBOSITY_LEVEL, char const*, ...)'
collect2: ld a retourné 1 code d'état d'exécution
make[2]: *** [/home/ros/catkin_ws/devel/lib/open_tld_3d/opentld_3D] Erreur 1
make[1]: *** [open_tld_3d/CMakeFiles/opentld_3D.dir/all] Erreur 2

I tried linking manually PCL in themakefile as explain Here but it didn't help.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Here is the CMakeLists.txt :

This looks like a linking problem. Can you include your CMakeLists.txt in your post?

Sure thing.

It looks like you should add ${PCL_LIBRARIES} when you link 3Dmain.

That worked. But why was CMake able to find it if I put the function in the project file ? I just can't understand why...

The add_library controls which C++ files are compiled into your object file, and target_link_libraries controls which libraries are linked with your object file to produce your library.

find_package(PCL) sets a number of environment variables, including PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS and PCL_LIBRARIES.
