undefined reference to `tf2::BufferCore::_allFramesAsDot() const'

[bricerebsamen]

after #74 I get this error
/opt/ros/indigo/lib/libtf.so: undefined reference to `tf2::BufferCore::_allFramesAsDot() const'

to reproduce: create a workspace with the ros/velodyne repo and the ros/geometry_experimental repo, both of them checked out to the latest version.

I bisected on ros/geometry_experimental and I confirmed #74 is the culprit

Is your workspace in /opt/ros/indigo? It's odd that you're getting that issue from /opt/ros/

I've seen the same issue on our new test farm: http://54.183.26.131:8080/job/Idev__geometry_experimental__ubuntu_trusty_amd64/6/console

But the old farm is passing: http://jenkins.ros.org/job/devel-indigo-geometry_experimental/ And I cannot reproduce this on my desktop.

[bricerebsamen]

no I created a dedicated workspace in my home dir that contains only those 2 repos. So tf is pulled from /opt/ros/indigo
Note: I built using catkin_tools

[tfoote]

You shouldn't be using symbols from /opt/ros that depend on a source overlay.

However I've also attempted a rework to overload instead of have a default method. Can you try the fix_84 branch?

[tfoote]

Hmm, I just noticed you're having issues with allFramesAsDot that's different than the allFramesAsYAML which i'm reproducing.

Some more info:
First pass is producing a void argument symbol, rming devel and build produces double

I patched fix_84 for _allFramesAsDOT as well.

[bricerebsamen]

yep that fixes it!

[zhujimson]

hello,guys, I met this problem yesterday. When I want to run catkin_make command in catkin_ws path, it came out this error"undefined reference to `tf2::BufferCore::_allFramesAsDot() const' ", but it works fine before. And my system is indigo.

[zhujimson]

After I saw #84 . I still could not get any solution.
