catkin build compiler error: cannot allocate an object of abstract type ‘steer_drive_controller::SteerDriveController’ because the following virtual functions are pure within ‘steer_drive_controller::SteerDriveController’

Hi, I am trying to use this plugin but am having problems compiling the code. The steer_drive_controller package gives the following error:

.../steer_drive_ros/steer_drive_controller/include/steer_drive_controller/steer_drive_controller.h:42, from /home/yl/test_ws/src/autonomous_bus/simulation/steer_drive_ros/steer_drive_controller/src/steer_drive_controller.cpp:48: /opt/ros/indigo/include/class_loader/meta_object.h: In instantiation of ‘B* class_loader::class_loader_private::MetaObject<C, B>::create() const [with C = steer_drive_controller::SteerDriveController; B = controller_interface::ControllerBase]’:

I tried with the main branch and got the same error. Please advise and thank you!
