undefined reference to `ros::init (correct CMakeLists.txt)

edit

Suddenly my caktin build does not work anymore.

Linking seem to fail. But the project works on other computers (all Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS kinetic).

I already tried:

• setting up a new catkin ws
• reinstalling ros completely
• reinstall catkin
• testing other nodes / packages

The linking error occurs in every package now. Maybe anyone can help.

Here is e.gcthe beginner_tutorials project: CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(beginner_tutorials)

## Find catkin and any catkin packages
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp rospy std_msgs genmsg)
## Declare ROS messages and services
add_message_files(FILES Num.msg)
add_service_files(FILES AddTwoInts.srv)

## Generate added messages and services
generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES std_msgs)

## Declare a catkin package

catkin_package()

## Build talker and listener
include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})

add_executable(talker src/talker.cpp)
target_link_libraries(talker ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(talker beginner_tutorials_generate_messages_cpp)

add_executable(listener src/listener.cpp)
target_link_libraries(listener ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(listener beginner_tutorials_generate_messages_cpp)
