I'm using an Arch machine and trying to compile ROS desktop full from source. The build fails when image_proc is trying to link executable.

Here is the error log:

[ 23%] Built target image_proc_gencfg
[ 84%] Built target image_proc
[ 92%] Linking CXX executable /home/alphayed/ROS/ros_catkin_ws/devel_isolated/image_proc/lib/image_proc/image_proc

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:68: CMakeFiles/image_proc_exe.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:139: all] Error 2

I think the problem is related to opencv3. I removed it from the system and recompiled it from source but that didn't solve the issue. Can you please help?

modify opencv3/cmake/OpenCVDetectVTK.cmake, for every find_package(VTK QUIET COMPONENTS ... add an entry vtkIOGeometry

This works for me

Thank you, that worked. Can you please explain what this fix does if you don't mind?

I suppose vtk has changed its structure in the new version, e.g. move vtkOBJReader into a sub library vtkIOGeometry, so you have to tell cmake to find vtkIOGeometry if you want to use that class.

Arch always uses the newest, that's why you'll encounter such issue earlier than others.
