Installation problem for last version of RTAB-Map alone (not in ROS) in Ubuntu 16.04: -lvtkGUISupportQt not found

[manuelloit]

Hello. Sorry for the question. I'm trying to install the last version of RTAB-Map alone (not in ROS) in Ubuntu 16.04, but compilation ended in error with "unable to find -lvtkGUISupportQt - collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status". I hadn't this problem, for example, with v. 16.3 of RTAB-Map. Please, how can I solve it? Thanks in advance

Unless the issue #317 (now fixed), I cannot reproduce the problem on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 following the minimal instructions from the installation steps. Here testing with docker for convenience:

$ docker run -it ubuntu:16.04
$ cd
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install libsqlite3-dev libpcl-dev libopencv-dev git cmake libproj-dev libqt5svg5-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/introlab/rtabmap.git rtabmap
$ cd rtabmap/build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j4

You can try to do it. Comment out line 314 of the RTAB-Map/CMakeLists file. And rebuild. # list(FIND PCL_LIBRARIES VTK::GUISupportQt value)
