problem running PCL project

[fastkit]

Hi all,
I installed PCL on my computer with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I followed instructions found here: http://pointclouds.org/downloads/linux.html

I wanted to try the first tutorial found here: http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/writing_pcd.php#writing-pcd

Then I typed this commands on terminal to generate CodeBlocks project:

Code

cmake -G"CodeBlocks - Unix Makefiles" /home/.../dev/PCL/CMakeLists.txt

and I got the CodeBlocks project. I compiled it without errors, but when I try to run it says: You can't "run" a commands-only target...

What is the problem with CodeBlocks?

Thank you a lot in advance!!

Post the full re-build log. This means make sure Compiler log is on full (as in link) and do a re-build and post the "build log"

It's most likely not a problem with Code::Blocks, but with the cmake-generated project-file.
Try to change the type of the project in "Project -> Properties -> Build targets" for the problematic build targets and fix the patha nd name of the executable (if needed).
If this works the cmake conf-file is not correct and generates a command-only-target instead of console or gui or whatever you need.

Sorry,   
I don't understand what do you mean.

Which log do I have to show? I to get it?

P.S.: Sorry, for long I didn't use this machine!

I got this:

Code

-------------- Build: all in Project ---------------

So, how to solve?

[fastkit]

I run it using the terminal:

Code

make
[100%] Built target pcd_write_test
***@asusM51se:~/.../PCL$ ./pcd_write_test
Saved 5 data points to test_pcd.pcd.
    0.352222 -0.151883 -0.106395

    -0.734766 0.854581 -0.0361733
    -0.4607 -0.277468 -0.916762

It works well.
So there is a problem in the setting of CB. Could you help me to understand why I get this error?

A good start would be to read all answers you get.
Not doing so only frustrates the people who take their (spare-)time to help you (in this case me):

[...]

It's most likely not a problem with Code::Blocks, but with the cmake-generated project-file.

I already followed your suggestion but without success. I went to Project -> Properties -> Build targets but I don't know how to do this: 'for the problematic build targets and fix the patha nd name of the executable (if needed)'

What do I exactly have to do?
