Hi,

I'm following the tutorial at http://wiki.ros.org/tf2/Tutorials/Wri...

I copy-and-pasted the code, made changes to CMakeLists.txt, but I see this error when I catkin_make:

CMakeFiles/turtle_tf2_broadcaster.dir/src/turtle_tf2_broadcaster.cpp.o: In function `poseCallback(boost::shared_ptr<turtlesim::Pose_<std::allocator<void> > const> const&)':
turtle_tf2_broadcaster.cpp:(.text+0x40): undefined reference to `tf2_ros::TransformBroadcaster::TransformBroadcaster()'
turtle_tf2_broadcaster.cpp:(.text+0x1d3): undefined reference to `tf2_ros::TransformBroadcaster::sendTransform(geometry_msgs::TransformStamped_<std::allocator<void> > const&)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm fairly sure I've followed each step correctly (and the Python version works for me). I checked /opt/ros/hydro/include/tf2_ros/transform_broadcaster.h and sendTransform() seems to be defined:

  /** \brief Send a TransformStamped message
   * The stamped data structure includes frame_id, and time, and parent_id already.  */
  void sendTransform(const geometry_msgs::TransformStamped & transform);

  /** \brief Send a vector of TransformStamped messages
   * The stamped data structure includes frame_id, and time, and parent_id already.  */
  void sendTransform(const std::vector<geometry_msgs::TransformStamped> & transforms);

Is there something else with the C++ version that I'm overlooking?

I'm using Hydro with 12.04.5.

Thanks!


EDIT with CMakeLists.txt and compile output:

Please post your CMakeLists.txt contents, as well as your full console output of the compile. (VERBOSE=1 will give you more info as well.)

It looks like you're missing some link flags.

From the missing symbol it looks like you need add tf2_ros to your find_package(catkin... list

That fixed my issue as well. Thanks!
