Linking ThinPlateSplineShapeTransformer failed (undefined reference)

Hi all,

I built OpenCV 3.1.0-dev (latest by today) and installed it to a subdir of my home dir. Now, I want to compile a simple example cpp-file, using my freshly installed OpenCV

#include <iostream>
#include <opencv2/shape/shape_transformer.hpp>
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    auto tps = cv::createThinPlateSplineShapeTransformer();
    std::vector<cv::Point2f> sourceP, targetP;
    sourceP.push_back(cv::Point2f(0, 0));
    targetP.push_back(cv::Point2f(100, 0));
    sourceP.push_back(cv::Point2f(799, 0));
    targetP.push_back(cv::Point2f(799, 0));
    sourceP.push_back(cv::Point2f(0, 599));
    targetP.push_back(cv::Point2f(0, 599));
    sourceP.push_back(cv::Point2f(799, 599));
    targetP.push_back(cv::Point2f(799, 599));

    std::vector<cv::DMatch> matches;

    for (int i = 0; i < sourceP.size(); ++i)    
         matches.push_back(cv::DMatch(i, i, 0)); 

    return 0;
}

with the following Makefile

try: try.cpp
    g++ -ggdb -std=c++11 `pkg-config --cflags --libs ../install/lib/pkgconfig/opencv.pc` try.cpp -o try

install is the directory, where I installed the opencv, it contains include, lib, share and others

try.cpp is the code snippet

The error I'm getting is as follows: asalle@azazaz:~/opencv/try$ make

g++ -ggdb -std=c++11 `pkg-config --cflags --libs ../install/lib/pkgconfig/opencv.pc` try.cpp -o try
/tmp/ccncYN0U.o: In function `main':
/home/asalle/opencv/try/try.cpp:10: undefined reference to `cv::createThinPlateSplineShapeTransformer(double)'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [try] Error 1

I already tried

g++ -std=c++11 -I../install/include -L../install/lib/ -lopencv_shape try.cpp -o try

but with no success.

Any help will be appreciated, Asalle

what does

`pkg-config --cflags --libs ../install/lib/pkgconfig/opencv.pc`

resolve to ?

(also, g++ will never complain about libs that just don't exist)

I am sorry, I have not quite understood what do you mean by 'what does X resolve to?'. If you're asking about its meaning then is equivalent to the following

 -I/home/asalle/opencv/install/include/opencv -I/home/asalle/opencv/install/include -L/home/asalle/opencv/install/lib -lopencv_shape -lopencv_stitching -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_superres -lopencv_videostab -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_videoio -lopencv_imgcodecs -lopencv_video -lopencv_photo -lopencv_ml -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_flann -lopencv_core

Fortunately, I figured it out and already answered my own question, but it has not shown yet. Is there some kind of answers moderation here?

Thanks anyway!

sorry for being unclear, but that's exactly, what was meant ! ;)

It was a stupid mistake. It seems that the order of g++'s arguments matter:

g++ -std=c++11 -I../install/include -L../install/lib -lopencv_shape -o try try.cpp won't work, while

g++ -std=c++11 -I../install/include -L../install/lib -o try try.cpp -lopencv_shape will. So, all I did was postpone the -lopencv_shape to the end. Silly Billy.

Thank you for such a warm welcome and support, I hope to become a valuable member of this community!
