These are linker errors, indicating that you don't link against (at least) the tf library.

Did you create the package using the command shown in the tutorial? Specifically, this:

catkin_create_pkg learning_tf tf roscpp rospy turtlesim

If you can show the find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS ..) part of your CMakeLists.txt, we may be able to spot what is wrong or missing.

Edit:

add_executable(turtle_tf_broadcaster src/turtle_tf_broadcaster.cpp)
target_link_libraries(turtle_tf_broadcaster ${catkin_LIBRARIES})

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(learning_tf)

find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS
  roscpp
  rospy
  tf
  turtlesim
)

This would appear to be a problem of statement order.

It's best not to have the add_executable(..) and target_link_libraries(..) lines at the top of your file.

Move those two lines below the find_package(catkin ..) line.

I expect things to start working then.

Finally, if you haven't yet, you may want to lookup a tutorial or two about CMake. That will make a lot of things related to build scripts and the kinds of errors you posted this question about much clearer.
