I did:

string fname = ros::package::getPath("foo")

and got:

test.cpp:(.text+0x424): undefined reference to `ros::package::getPath(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)'

Looking at existing discussions, it seems that this is because of failure to link to roslib. https://github.com/ros/ros/issues/58

I upgraded all ros packages and tried again but did not work. Your help will be very appreciated.


ROS version: Hydro OS: Ubuntu 12.04 I installed through apt-get

CMakeList.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)

project(ctb)
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp std_msgs)

catkin_package(
   INCLUDE_DIRS include
   CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp std_msgs actionlib_msgs actionlib
)

include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(hoge src/PathPlanner/test.cpp)
target_link_libraries(hoge ${catkin_LIBRARIES})

package.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<package>
  <buildtool_depend>catkin</buildtool_depend>
  <build_depend>roscpp</build_depend>
  <build_depend>roslib</build_depend>
  <build_depend>std_msgs</build_depend>
  <run_depend>roscpp</run_depend>
  <run_depend>roslib</run_depend>
  <run_depend>std_msgs</run_depend>
  <export>
  </export>
</package>

Please update your question with your CMakeLists.txt, package.xml, OS, ROS version and whether you've installed from source or debs. Without that, we cannot help you.

Don't know why the whole thread was deleted. I just reverted it back.

I actually solved by my self. It was CMakeList.txt. I added roslib to find_package and CATKIN_DEPENDS as below and it worked.

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp std_msgs)

catkin_package(
   INCLUDE_DIRS include
   CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp std_msgs actionlib_msgs actionlib
)

In the example shown I can't see that you added roslib in find_pacakge or CATKIN_DEPENDS, but did I understand you correctly that you meant to include them?

Yes. Adding roslib to find_package works

Hi, ty Giro Ono, you saved me, even if your code was not completely ok... I solved the issue changing CMakelist.txt AND package.xml

In CMakelist.txt :

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp  std_msgs rosily)

and

catkin_package(INCLUDE_DIRS include CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp std_msgs roslib)

In package.xml

  <build_depend>roslib</build_depend> <run_depend>roslib</run_depend>

Pb solved ! (kinetic, c++11, ubuntu 16.04)

You wrote "rosily" in find_package. Did you mean "roslib" instead?

Azergoo gravatar image Azergoo  ( 2018-07-13 01:10:27 -0500 )edit

This worked! I added "roslib" to find_package, CATKIN_DEPENDS and in package.xml I added roslib as <build_depend> and <exec_depend>

I had the same problem caused by some precompiled libs; try running sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade to make sure everything installed is up-to-date and delete your workspace lib/devel/install folders and rerun catkin_make to make sure literally everything is recompiled...
