I was able to run OpenCV with ROS. I have run basic things (like loading images, getting video stream ect) but I am trying to run SURF or SIFT and I get this error:
Linking CXX executable /home/jim/ROS/catkin_ws/devel/lib/opencv_ros/open

Invoking "make" failed
The project name is "opencv_ros" and the code is in "open.cpp". I have include these headers:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include "opencv2/core/core.hpp"
#include "opencv2/features2d/features2d.hpp"
#include "opencv2/nonfree/features2d.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/nonfree/nonfree.hpp"
the thing is that when I run the same code in my c++ IDE (code::blocks) it runs just fine. I even found the header file and saw that it's in the correct place (according to the include I gave).
In the ROS ask website, they told me that I am doing something wrong with OpenCV and the make file. They said I should ask here for help. Here is my CMakeLists.txt :
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(opencv_ros)
find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
cv_bridge
image_transport
roscpp
sensor_msgs
std_msgs
)
catkin_package( CATKIN_DEPENDS cv_bridge image_transport roscpp sensor_msgs std_msgs )
include_directories(${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(open src/open.cpp)
target_link_libraries(open ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES})
add_dependencies(open opencv_ros_generate_messages_cpp)
I am running ubuntu 14.04 64bit on Indigo with OpenCV 2.4.9 .
Why cant it find SURF or SIFT in ROS?
