Compile Error about OpenCV multi-version: a lot of "undefined reference"

[XunshanMan]

Hello! Thanks for visiting. I have been stuck in the issue for several days. I have successfully installed libfreenect2 and run ./Prototect and seen the output of rgb and depth images.

My computer has OpenCV 2.4.8( installed with ROS indigo), and OpenCV 3.2 compiled from source code with contrib modules. At first I compiled successfully but showed "segmentation fault" and crashed when I ran kinect2_bridge, and then I found out that I was compiled with OpenCV 3.2. So I changed it into OpenCV 2.4.8, but it got a lot of "undefined reference" error showing below.

I could make sure that I was using OpenCV 2.8 because in the CMakeLIsts.txt, I output ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES} and ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS}, which showed the path of version 2.4.8.

In my computer, I checked the paths of two opencv versions:

For OpenCV 3.2 include directories: /usr/local/include /usr/local/include/opencv libs: /usr/local/lib

For OpenCV 2.4.8 include directories: /usr/include/ /usr/include/opencv libs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Thanks so much for the help! Output is as below.

Hi, since it have been a long time, I forgot the detail. But I'm sure the problem "undefined reference to.." happens because of linking to the wrong libs of OpenCV. For example, you include .h files of opencv3, but you link to libs of opencv2. If you install only one OpenCV version on your PC, I think the problem will not occur.
