How to solve undefined reference to `pcl::search::Search<pcl::PointXYZ>::Search?

[b2220333]

I use ubuntu 12.04 64bits with ROS Hydro.

I run:
sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev
git clone https://github.com/atenpas/agile_grasp.git -b hydro
rospack profile

when I catkin_make, it shows errors:

It's looks like the PCL linking problem.
How to solve it?
Thank you~

[atenpas]

I'm not sure what the problem is because test_taubin.cpp has an include for pcl/search/organized.h, and the file is linked to PCL libraries (https://github.com/atenpas/agile_grasp/blob/hydro/CMakeLists.txt#L142).

Do you have different versions of PCL installed?

[b2220333]

I do not remember I install the version of PCL without ROS or not.
What should I do?

[atenpas]

You could remove all lines related to test_taubin.cpp from CMakeLists.txt. It's just a test file - it's not required to run the ROS nodes.

After I comment:
#add_executable(test_taubin_fitting src/tests/test_taubin.cpp)
#target_link_libraries(test_taubin_fitting quadric ${PCL_LIBRARIES})

And I compile again, it shows:

Any solutions yet?

[ydawei]

My solution was cmake clean and rebuild. Don't understand why.

[qixuxiang]

add this to CMakeLists.txt

find_package (PCL 1.8 REQUIRED)

set(PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS /usr/local/include/pcl-1.8)  #指定pcl1.8路径

include_directories( ... ${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS})

target_link_libraries( ... ${PCL_LIBRARIES})

[UditSinghParihar]

My problem is solved after qixuxiang suggestions, Now CMakeLists.txt look like:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.5.1)
project (icp)
find_package (PCL 1.7 REQUIRED)


set(PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS /usr/local/include/pcl-1.7 /usr/include/eigen3/)

include_directories(${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS})

add_executable(pcl_test pcl_test.cpp)
target_link_libraries(pcl_test ${PCL_LIBRARIES})

[PoplarTang]

Including <pcl/search/impl/search.hpp> on top of your code. Good luck!
