Issue with include: In function 'main': Undefined reference to

asked 2019-11-25 10:03:23 -0600

Hello. I'm having an issue linking a header to my code. I'm trying to include libi2c from "https://github.com/amaork/libi2c" to use with ROS. (Stand alone this all works). I have a node called keyboard_nav: In it I have 'include', 'launch', and 'src' folders. I have a test CPP file called i2c_xavierROS:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "i2c.h"

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

    unsigned char buf[6];
    size_t buf_size = sizeof(buf);

    int fd;
    I2CDevice device;
    const char *data = "15291021";

    /* First open i2c bus */
    if ((fd = i2c_open("/dev/i2c-8")) == -1)
    {
        perror("Open i2c bus error");
        return -1;
    }

    /* Fill i2c device struct */
    device.bus = fd;
    device.addr = 0x0f;
    device.tenbit = 0;
    device.delay = 10;
    device.flags = 0;
    device.page_bytes = 8;
    device.iaddr_bytes = 0; /* Set this to zero, and using i2c_ioctl_xxxx API will ignore chip internal address */

    /* Write data to i2c */
    if (i2c_ioctl_write(&device, 0x0, data, strlen(data)) != strlen(data))
   {  /* Error process */ }

    /* Read data from i2c */
    if (i2c_ioctl_read(&device, 0x0, buf, buf_size) != buf_size)
    {
      for (int i = 0; i < buf_size; i++) {

            buf[i] = 0xff - i;
    }

    }

    i2c_close(fd);
    printf("buffer is ");
    printf("%s\n", buf);
/*
    for (i = 0; i < buf_size; i++)
    {

      //scanf( "%d", &buf[i]);
      printf("%s\n", buf);
    }*/
    return 0;

}

My #include "i2c.h" and i2c.c are saved in the include folder. Here is the CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(keyboard_nav)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS roscpp rospy std_msgs)
#add_executable for demo.cpp

catkin_package(
#  INCLUDE_DIRS include
#  LIBRARIES keyboard_nav
#  CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp rospy std_msgs
#  DEPENDS system_lib
)



include_directories(include ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} )

add_executable(i2c_xavierROS src/i2c_xavierROS.cpp)
target_link_libraries(i2c_xavierROS ${catkin_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(i2c_xavierROS keyboard_nav_generate_messages_cpp)

When I run catkin_make I get this error:

CMakeFiles/i2c_xavierROS.dir/src/i2c_xavierROS.cpp.o: In function `main':
i2c_xavierROS.cpp:(.text+0x3a): undefined reference to `i2c_open'

I'd appreciate any help on fixing this.

You need to either build i2c.c into a library (like they do in their Makefile, you could use add_library) and link against that library with your target_link_libraries call (probably what I'd recommend), or you need to also build the source of i2c.c into the executable that you are producing (might be a bit tricky with the fact that their source code is C not C++).

As it stands, the error you are seeing is because there is nothing in your CMakeLists.txt file even referencing the i2c.c source code.

Thanks for the fast reply. I'll try this and see what comes of it.

See http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/CMakeLists...

Try specifying the link directory. Example:

link_directories(~/my_libs)

I got this working with the target_link_libraries. Though there were many "tutorials" on how to do this they were over complicated and not clear. I eventually stumbled onto this YouTube video which was very helpful and I got the library linked with the addition of an extra CMakeLists inside the library.

Thanks!
