C++ cmake throwing error

Question

I am running sample programs in g2o graph library in linux using cmake. I am getting the following error. The file i am running has the following code

#include <Eigen/Core>

which is causing the error.

[ 3%] Building CXX object data_fitting/CMakeFiles/circle_fit.dir/circle_fit.o g2o/trunk/g2o/examples/data_fitting/circle_fit.cpp:27:2 3: fatal error: Eigen/Core: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [data_fitting/CMakeFiles/circle_fit.dir/circle_fit.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [data_fitting/CMakeFiles/circle_fit.dir/all] Error 2

I am new to using cmake. Is this because of an error in the CMakeLists.txt file?

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${CSPARSE_INCLUDE_DIR}) ADD_EXECUTABLE(circle_fit circle_fit.cpp ) SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(circle_fit PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME circle_fit${EXE_POSTFIX}) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(circle_fit core solver_csparse) ADD_EXECUTABLE(curve_fit curve_fit.cpp ) SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(curve_fit PROPERTIES OUTPUT_NAME curve_fit${EXE_POSTFIX}) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(curve_fit core)

I am struggling with this for a day now. The tutorials available for cmake are also not helping much. How can I fix this error?

I tried adding include statement for /usr/include/eigen3 as the first answer suggested. But I cannot find any file named eigen3 in the /usr/include directory.

Is there any other possible path? How can I find it in linux?

Try to include the eigen include folder in cmake.

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( /usr/include/eigen3 )

It worked for me on the same error.

@user2907250 I am pretty sure this is the answer you are looking for. Maybe you need to change the path. Where have you installed Eigen on your system?

The readme says that you need to install libeigen3-dev (https://svn.openslam.org/data/svn/g2o/trunk/README)

If you are on Ubuntu user install it using apt-get or synaptic.

And for Windows :

"If you are compiling on Windows, please download Eigen3 and extract it. Within cmake-gui set the variable G2O_EIGEN3_INCLUDE to that directory"

Do read the 'readme' :)
