cmake error

[pl95]

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 with ROS Inidgo. When I run $ catkin_make I have the following error; CMake Error at robot_localization_demo/CMakeLists.txt:176 (add_executable): Target "odometry_node" links to target "Boost::program_options" but the target was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

CMake Error at robot_localization_demo/CMakeLists.txt:167 (add_executable): Target "positioning_system_node" links to target "Boost::program_options" but the target was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

Any way to fix this?

According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/allpackages, Ubuntu 14.04 came with cmake 2.8.12. I don't think this old cmake version supports the Boost::X targets which I used for this CMakeLists.txt. Replacing them with the old style Boost_LIBRARIES macro should help, I think.

I did change to Boost_LIBRARIES. And I upgraded CMake to 3.2.2. It still has this error.

Can you drop your current CMakeLists.txt here?

Can you drop your current CMakeLists.txt here?

yes.

Anything I can modified?

[maartendemunck]

According to https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.2/module/FindBoost.html The FindBoost.cmake script that comes with CMake 3.2 doesn't yet support the Boost::X targets.

You already added the ${Boost_LIBRARIES}, but you should remove the Boost::program_options, so the target_link_libraries should become:

target_link_libraries(positioning_system_node
  ${Boost_LIBRARIES}
)

and

target_link_libraries(odometry_node
  ${Boost_LIBRARIES}
)

Does this help?

@maartendemunck

It do help! But now there are new errors.

The C++ version is c++ (Ubuntu 5.5.0-12ubuntu1~14.04) 5.5.0 20171010

It this the reason?

[maartendemunck]

Are you compiling in C++11 mode?

Try to uncomment the line

add_compile_options(-std=c++11)

too see if that helps.

@pl95 Did this solve the problem?

It works for me.
