Hi everyone,

I was wondering how to build a project which contains 3.cpp files and 2.h headers. First, I create a package called test. Then I defined a 3.cpp files: main , ROSMath and Math.cpp. But when I try to build with catkin, I got this error :

1/CMakeLits:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(test)

## Compile as C++11, supported in ROS Kinetic and newer
# add_compile_options(-std=c++11)

## Find catkin macros and libraries
## if COMPONENTS list like find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS xyz)
## is used, also find other catkin packages
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  rospy
  std_msgs
  message_generation
)

## System dependencies are found with CMake's conventions
# find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS system)


## Uncomment this if the package has a setup.py. This macro ensures
## modules and global scripts declared therein get installed
## See http://ros.org/doc/api/catkin/html/user_guide/setup_dot_py.html
# catkin_python_setup()

## Declare ROS messages, services and actions ##
################################################

## To declare and build messages, services or actions from within this
## package, follow these steps:
## * Let MSG_DEP_SET be the set of packages whose message types you use in
##   your messages/services/actions (e.g. std_msgs, actionlib_msgs, ...).
## * In the file package.xml:
##   * add a build_depend tag for "message_generation"
##   * add a build_depend and a run_depend tag for each package in MSG_DEP_SET
##   * If MSG_DEP_SET isn't empty the following dependency has been pulled in
##     but can be declared for certainty nonetheless:
##     * add a run_depend tag for "message_runtime"
## * In this file (CMakeLists.txt):
##   * add "message_generation" and every package in MSG_DEP_SET to
##     find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS ...)
##   * add "message_runtime" and every package in MSG_DEP_SET to
##     catkin_package(CATKIN_DEPENDS ...)
##   * uncomment the add_*_files sections below as needed
##     and list every .msg/.srv/.action file to be processed
##   * uncomment the generate_messages entry below
##   * add every package in MSG_DEP_SET to generate_messages(DEPENDENCIES ...)

## Generate messages in the 'msg' folder
add_message_files(
   FILES

 )

## Generate services in the 'srv' folder
add_service_files(
   FILES
   TwoInts.srv
 )

## Generate actions in the 'action' folder
# add_action_files(
#   FILES
#   Action1.action
#   Action2.action
# )

## Generate added messages and services with any dependencies listed here
generate_messages(
   DEPENDENCIES
   std_msgs
 )

Can you post the CMakeLists.txt file you're using along with the 5 source files you've mentioned. It looks like there are some errors in your code as well main.cpp:(.text+0x107) : référence indéfinie vers « ROSMath::ROSMath(Math*) looks like you're missing some #include 's

Hi Peter, thank you for your response, I edited my question in order to add the Cmakelist.txt file and the source files. I modified the add_excutables in the Cmakelist.txt as indicated by nrparikh and I got errors

@Hamza: could you please take care to format things properly next time when copying code/build scripts/console output? Just select and use ctrl+k or press the Preformatted Text button (the one with 101010 on it).

Also: please don't include the boilerplate comments in your CMakeLists.txt.

If you haven't linked your *.cpp files in the CMakeLists, you will face this error. As far as I understand, you are including ROSMath.cpp and Math.cpp in your main file and you will only have one executable. You should follow ROS C++ tutorial. The modification here will be instead of adding just one file to your node, you will need to have more than one files linked to the same node. For e.g.

add_executable(foo src/foo.cpp src/bar.cpp src/foo2.cpp)

Thank you for your response , I test what you suggested and I got errors :

In file included from /home/hamza/catkin_ws/src/test/src/ROSMath.cpp:2:0: /home/hamza/catkin_ws/devel/include/test/ROSMath.h:14:15: error: ‘test’ has not been declared bool ROSadd(test::TwoInts::Request & req, /home/hamza

Hi it looks like a code error somewhere. Can you post the source of ROSMath.cpp and ROSMath.h and we'll be able to help you get this fixed.

Thank you very much for your reply, I already manage to fix all errors.
