编译高博十四讲代码遇到依赖项g2o和cholmod的坑

1. 找不到g2o库！在CMakeLists.txt中使用指令 message(STATUS "${G2O_FOUND}") 打印结果为NO。

问题描述：

CMakeLists.txt 中采用以下命令寻找g2o库。

# g2o 
find_package( G2O REQUIRED )
include_directories( ${G2O_INCLUDE_DIRS} )

科普时间：find_package() 会在模块路径中寻找FindNAME.cmake文件，再经由此文件寻找库全部文件，包括头文件，静态库(*.a)，动态库(*.so)，这种查找方法称为模块模式。更多详情参考此连接。

因为我把g2o安装在 /usr/local/g2o 路径中，不在FindNAME.cmake的默认查找路径中，所以一直找不到。

解决方法：

在CMakeLists.txt中进行修改，以下所示，

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "/usr/local/g2o")
find_package( G2O REQUIRED )
message(STATUS "${G2O_INCLUDE_DIR}")
include_directories( ${G2O_INCLUDE_DIR} )

同时在FindG2O.cmake中，将 NO_DEFAULT_PATH 注释掉。以下所示，

FIND_PATH(G2O_INCLUDE_DIR g2o/core/base_vertex.h
  ${G2O_ROOT}/include
  $ENV{G2O_ROOT}/include
  /usr/local/include
  ...
  #NO_DEFAULT_PATH
  )

若是指定了NO_DEFAULT_PATH选项，全部NO_*选项都会被激活，致使 set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "/usr/local/g2o") 设置的路径被跳过。

 

2. 运行make进行编译时，出现以下报错，

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lg2o_core
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lg2o_stuff
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lg2o_types_slam3d

问题描述：

编译执行文件时使用 target_link_libraries() 连接上述三个动态库文件，在 /usr/local/g2o/lib 中能够找到这些文件，从报错能够判断应该是找不到正确的连接路径。

解决方法：

在CMakeList.txt中添加以下命令行，设置动态库所在的绝对路径。

link_directories("/usr/local/g2o/lib")

关于在cmake中添加头文件目录，连接动态库、静态库的操做参考这个连接。

 

3. 运行make编译代码，报错以下，

问题描述：

由报错第一行能够断定该报错与Cholmod库有关。没法正确连接Cholmod库。

查看cmake输出内容，以下所示，

Found CHOLMOD: /home/gordon/kalibr_ws/devel/include/suitesparse 

能够肯定寻找cholmod库的结果是suitesparse库（目前不清楚这两个库的关系，先将它们等同起来）。我以前在kalibr_ws中安装了suitesparse库，同时，g2o的readme.md也让我在根目录下安装了suitesparse库。想到kalibr_ws是采用catkin_build编译的，其架构跟cmake一定不一致，所以尝试换成根目录下的库。

解决方法：

在 ~/.bashrc 中去除kalibr_ws的环境变量，重启终端。可经过 echo $PATH 命令查看该环境变量是否被移除。或者，暂时将kalibr_ws中的devel文件夹暂时移除。使用 cmake 从新连接库文件，获得以下结果，

Found CHOLMOD: /usr/include/suitesparse 

至此便可编译成功。
