MRPT error: cannot find -lmrpt- base

Question

I am trying to run an example from the MRPT library but I am getting the error:

cannot find -lmrpt- base

I am running ubunut 12.04 64-bit on a laptop. I am using Code::Blocks IDE with the GNU GCC compiler.

The CMakeLists.txt file had this code:

SET(sampleName geometry3D) SET(PRJ_NAME "EXAMPLE_${sampleName}")

PROJECT(${PRJ_NAME})

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.4) if(COMMAND cmake_policy) cmake_policy(SET CMP0003 NEW) endif(COMMAND cmake_policy)

SET(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ".")

FIND_PACKAGE(MRPT REQUIRED base)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(${sampleName} test.cpp )

SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES( ${sampleName} PROPERTIES PROJECT_LABEL "(EXAMPLE) ${sampleName}")

SET(MY_DEFS ) IF(MY_DEFS) # If not empty ADD_DEFINITIONS("-D${MY_DEFS}") ENDIF(MY_DEFS)

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${sampleName} ${MRPT_LIBS} "" )

IF(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX AND NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Debug") SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -O3") ENDIF(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX AND NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE MATCHES "Debug")

IF("${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}" STREQUAL "MRPT") DeclareAppDependencies(${sampleName} mrpt-base) ENDIF("${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}" STREQUAL "MRPT")

the example can be found here http://www.mrpt.org/tutorials/programming/maths-and-geometry/2d_3d_geometry/ at the end of the page

how do I link the lmrpt to my project? what files am I looking for?

Answer 1

SO the problem was I did not install the drivers correctly :P. When I was installing I did the "cmake" and "make" command but dint do the "sudo make install" so the files dint go to the correct place. Silly me :P
