Hi, I've been struggling with this for a few hours. I created a package depending on openni, openni_camera and openni_launch.

My problem is: on compilation, i'm getting

Linking CXX executable ../bin/listener
/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/openni_camera/lib/libopenni_nodelet.so: error: undefined reference to 'log4cxx::Logger::getLogger(char const*)'
/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/openni_camera/lib/libopenni_nodelet.so: error: undefined reference to 'log4cxx::Level::getError()'
/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/openni_camera/lib/libopenni_nodelet.so: error: undefined reference to 'log4cxx::Level::getWarn()'
/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/openni_camera/lib/libopenni_nodelet.so: error: undefined reference to 'typeinfo for log4cxx::helpers::ObjectPtrBase'
/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/openni_camera/lib/libopenni_nodelet.so: error: undefined reference to 'log4cxx::helpers::ObjectPtrBase::~ObjectPtrBase()'
/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/openni_camera/lib/libopenni_nodelet.so: error: undefined reference to 'log4cxx::Level::getFatal()'

I thought it was whining about the fact that I didn't link the log4cxx library on compilation. So I added this in CMakeLists.txt

rosbuild_add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} /usr/lib/liblog4cxx.so)
SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES LINKER_LANGUAGE C)

but it didn't change much. Then I tried the answer from another question (which I'm not allowed to mention giving my baby karma) suggesting to use target_link_libraries() but I couldn't use it successfully.

Any ideas? NB: I'm running fuerte on ubuntu 12.04. Thanks for your help

Hey, I don't know if this is still useful, but I just solved a similar problem. In any case, I'll leave my solution here.

What I did was to add the following line to the begginning of my CMakeLists.txt.

link_libraries(-llog4cxx)

What this does is link every executable to the log4cxx library.

Keep in mind that link_libraries() is deprecated, so if this problem only occurs with one executable, it is preferred to use target_link_libraries(). I did not use this because the errors occurred in every executable, so link_libraries() was an easier solution.

If this does not solve your problem, don't hesitate in asking me for help, I'll try my best to help you solve the problem.
