I am trying to compile the simple_marker.cpp tutorial with catkin_make in Hydro and I am getting an undefined reference error:
> CMakeFiles/simple_marker.dir/src/simple_marker.cpp.o: In function `main':

I think it's because of my CMakeFiles.txt:

I am able to run the basic controls tutorial in rviz, but I did not compile it, just installed the package and ran: rosrun interactive_marker_tutorials basic_controls
Can someone let me know if it is a CMakeLists thing or am I way off. I have not been able to find a CMakeLists example for an interactive marker node.
Thanks

I have exactly the same error and I could not solve it with these recommendations. Has anyone else had this same error?
Comment by Kansai on 2021-03-09:
I have the same error but my CMakelist.txt is so big and complicated that the recommendations do not work at all :(
Comment by Turuu on 2023-04-14:
Yeah, I'm also getting the same error again and again. As a beginner, it is too hard to figure out what is really going on.
