PCL/Boost Segmentation Fault

I was recently trying to use PCL's convex hull functions and even though I had successfully ran it before this time it didn't work. The thing is, it compiles successfully but seg faults immediately on startup. As I was editing a large library, I didn't know what was going on. Anyway it turns out, this is a well know issue with PCL documented here , here , here , here , and here . The accepted solution seems to be either don't use C++11 or recompile PCL with C++11. It seems the issue comes from different compiler versions in the boost libraries. I eventually got round the problem by adding a a few tags in the CMakelists file (I think one of the git issues said as much).

3. Work-around

  
if(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE AND NOT CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES)
  
  message(STATUS "Setting build type to 'Release' as none was specified.")
  
  set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release CACHE STRING "Choose the type of build." FORCE)
  
  set_property(CACHE CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE PROPERTY STRINGS "Debug" "Release" 
    "MinSizeRel" "RelWithDebInfo")
   
endif()
