undefined reference to `png_set_longjmp_fn' when compiling PCL source file - cmake

Question

I am trying to install PCL from source file, but I have this error " undefined reference to `png_set_longjmp_fn'". I have searched a lot but can't find a solution.
Other info.: Now, in my computer, I have installed both libpng1.6 and libpng1.2. I can't remove libpng1.2 because other application depends on it.

Answer 1

This modification in CMakeLists.txt(check PCL source folder) have worked in my case. (which is from CMake compile options for libpng). You should use below cmake configuration instead of original one.
# LibPNG
option(WITH_PNG "PNG file support" TRUE)
if(WITH_PNG)
# search for pkg-config
include (FindPkgConfig)
if (NOT PKG_CONFIG_FOUND)
message (FATAL_ERROR "pkg-config not found")
endif ()
# check for libpng
pkg_check_modules (LIBPNG libpng16 REQUIRED)
if (NOT LIBPNG_FOUND)
message(FATAL_ERROR "You don't seem to have libpng16 development libraries installed")
else ()
include_directories (${LIBPNG_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories (${LIBPNG_LIBRARY_DIRS})
link_libraries (${LIBPNG_LIBRARIES})
endif ()
endif(WITH_PNG)
