I'm trying to learn ros2 (i'm not that familiar with ros 1), specifically rviz2. I'm trying to adapt the basic shapes tutorials here:

http://wiki.ros.org/rviz/Tutorials/Ma...

I've got it compiling, but I get the following linker error:

--- stderr: examples_rclcpp_minimal_rviz

My CmakeLists.txt contains

find_package(ament_cmake REQUIRED)
find_package(rclcpp REQUIRED)
find_package(std_msgs REQUIRED)
find_package(visualization_msgs REQUIRED)
#find_package(rosidl_default_generators REQUIRED)

add_executable(send_shapes not_composable.cpp)

ament_target_dependencies(send_shapes

)

install(TARGETS
  send_shapes
  DESTINATION lib/${PROJECT_NAME}
)

I've tried including all of the packages that are currently commented out to no avail. What package do I need to get the type support working?

EDIT: As I was typing this question up, I realized I had misspelled visualization_msgs in the ament_target_dependencies statement. Why didn't that trigger a cmake error message?

If the name is not a package name which has been found before you should see the following error message: CMake Error at .../ament_target_dependencies.cmake:52 (message): ament_target_dependencies() the passed package name 'vizualization_msgs' was not found before

I met the same trouble with you, have you solved this problem?
