utm_odometry_node fails to build

Question

On a fresh checkout of gps_common , my utm_odometry_node fails to build, citing the error:

Linking CXX executable ../bin/utm_odometry_node CMakeFiles/utm_odometry_node.dir/src/utm_odometry_node.o: In function `ros::serialization::Stream::advance(unsigned int)':

/opt/ros/diamondback/ros/core/roslib/include/ros/serialization.h:675: undefined reference to `ros::serialization::throwStreamOverrun()'

The issue seems to be that throwStreamOverrun() alone is not defined in serialization.h; it's defined in serialization.cpp. I'm running ROS diamondback on Lucid.

Is there a simple workaround?

Answer 1

There was an unmet dependency of roscpp_serialization in this package.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, one of my friends told me I was missing some linker dependencies to ros::serialization::throwStreamOverrun().

And also that I needed to add the package that contains ros::serialization to the build_dependencies and the run_dependencies in the package.xml and also to the CMakeLists.txt.

In the CMake-file the build_dependencies are in the line that starts with find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS and the run_dependencies usually are in the catkin_package( ... block. Also, in the line target_link_libraries(your_executable ${catkin_LIBRARIES}) that belongs to your executable you might need to add the ${catkin_LIBRARIES} if it is not already there.

For me that worked and hope for you also.
