Hi,

It seems that the issue is with the linker which is not able to link your project to the boost directories. A quick and simple edit in your CMakelists.txt should enable the linking of the necessary boost directories.

You might have to uncomment the following line in Cmakelists:

rosbuild_add_boost_directories()

Next you will also have to add the following line:

rosbuild_link_boost(Binary_File_Name signals)

rosbuild_link_boost(Binary_File_Name systems)

Binary_File_Name is the name of the executable and the above lines have to be added after the rosbuild_add_executable() line. In most cases your rosmake should work fine after these corrections. You may search your error in Google for more information on this.

Good luck.
