Source: ros-catkin Severity: important
catkin generates .pc files from its templates. However, arround the inclusion of cmake 3.12.x or 3.13.x, the FindBoost macro injects a -lpthread in the BOOST_libraries. This information is bad resolved by catkin introducing a double -l-lpthread in the .pc files generated that use Boost. I have only detected rosconsole.pc (librosconsole-dev. Source ros-rosconsole) that has -l-lpthread. The solution is simple: --- /usr/share/catkin/cmake/catkin_package.cmake~ 2018-12-02 14:35:11.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/share/catkin/cmake/catkin_package.cmake 2019-03-12 10:30:29.742795867 +0100 @@ -270,7 +270,9 @@ catkin_filter_libraries_for_build_configuration(libraries ${PKG_CONFIG_LIBRARIES}) foreach(library ${libraries}) if(NOT IS_ABSOLUTE ${library}) - set(library "-l${library}") + if(NOT ${library} MATCHES "^-l") + set(library "-l${library}") + endif() endif() list_append_deduplicate(PKG_CONFIG_LIBRARIES_WITH_PREFIX ${library}) endforeach() I have prepared a new version of the package patched waiting to release team aprovation.
