Hi,

I want to use two external libraries:

In my qt project, I added

LIBS += -lCGAL -lgmp

to my .pro file and it works well.

When I try to use it in my ros project, I tried

find_library(CGAL_LIBRARY CGAL /usr/local)
find_library(GMP_LIBRARY gmp /usr/lib)

target_link_libraries(ros_project ${CGAL_LIBRARY} ${GMP_LIBRARY} )

Its seems that the CGAL library is linked correctly, but the GMP library is not. I get the following error for example:

error: undefined reference to `__gmpq_init'

Taking a look at the "CMakeCache.txt" in the ros project folder shows:

########################
# EXTERNAL cache entries
########################

//Path to a library.
CGAL_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/local/lib/libCGAL.so

//Path to a library.
GMP_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so

The command sudo dpkg -L libgmp-dev shows:

/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmpxx.a
/usr/include
/usr/include/gmp.h
/usr/include/gmpxx.h
/usr/include/gmp-x86_64.h
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libgmp-dev
/usr/share/doc/libgmp-dev/NEWS.gz
/usr/share/doc/libgmp-dev/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/libgmp-dev/README
/usr/share/doc/libgmp-dev/copyright
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmpxx.so
/usr/share/doc/libgmp-dev/changelog.Debian.gz

so I guess the path is found correctly and I have absolutely no idea why I get the undefined reference. I'am using Ubuntu 12.04 64bit. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Thanks in advance

Hendrik

One more step to debug is to run grep --color -Ri "gmp" ./build in your package folder. Please check all occurrences in Makefiles to make sure the build system is doing its job correctly

I guess you need to use find_package instead of find_library in your CMakeList.txt:

You may have to use pkg-config as well. There's a FindPkgConfig module.

The error seems to be from CGAL not linking libGmp as it depends on it. Using target_link_libraries(example CGAL::CGAL) instead of using the CMake variable target_link_libraries(example ${CGAL_LIBRARIES}) solves the issue.
