I am trying to migrate a project from Indigo to Jade. When I run catkin_make I get cannot find -l: errors (output below).
I am running ubuntu 15.04 and installed ROS Jade via the package manager. As it looks like it might be a problem with ld I am using version 2.25
The installation of ROS appears to be fine. I do not have the problem if I create a new project with subscribers and publishers like the ROS tutorials
Does anyone have any ideas?
$ catkin_make
Base path: /home/**/catkin_ws
Source space: /home/**/catkin_ws/src
Build space: /home/**/catkin_ws/build

All the libraries it mentions are installed. For example
$ apt-cache policy libboost-signals-dev
libboost-signals-dev:
Installed: 1.55.0.2

CMakeLists.txt
The package is split up into many sub directories. So what follows below is the main package CMakeLists and then an example of one of the sub directory packages that is failing
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(main)
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS message_generation rospy)
catkin_package(CATKIN_DEPENDS roscpp)
...
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11 -fPIC")
...
set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
include_directories(
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}
)
catkin_python_setup()
add_subdirectory(dir1)
add_subdirectory(dir2)
add_subdirectory(sc)
add_subdirectory(dir4)
add_subdirectory(dir5)
Example sub directory CMakeLists.txt. This is just one of many that are failing:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)
# Find ros dependencies...
include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/FindPkgConfig.cmake)
pkg_check_modules(ros-roscpp REQUIRED roscpp)
pkg_check_modules(ros-cv_bridge REQUIRED cv_bridge)
pkg_check_modules(ros-image_transport REQUIRED image_transport)
set( sc_srcs
main.cpp
ScNode.cpp

set( sc_hrs

Did you try to install dependencies of your packages via rosdep update / rosdep install mypkg ?
Comment by mhar on 2016-03-18:
Yes I have - no joy there
Comment by al-dev on 2016-03-18:
Can you edit your post to include your CMakeLists.txt ?
Comment by mhar on 2016-03-18:
Sure, done
Comment by al-dev on 2016-03-18:
I am just a bit confused by your example package CMakeLists.txt, is it intended to be used by catkin ? It does not contain any catkin instructions. Usually linking your targets against ${catkin_LIBRARIES} does the job for a catkin package.. Did you say this compiled with catkin on Indigo?
Comment by gvdhoorn on 2016-03-19:
@al-dev: that is not the CMakeLists.txt from the package, but of the workspace itself. @mhar: @al-dev asked for the CMakeLists.txt of the package that's giving you problems.
Comment by mhar on 2016-03-19:
I think I've given you the right CMakeLists.txt now.
@al-dev yes it complies fine with catkin on Indigo - hopefully it makes more sense now
The project is split into sub directories - so I've given you the main project CMakeLists.txt and then one of the sub directories
