I intend to use Brief descriptor. But I am getting this undefined reference error. There is no problem with building the code. But the linker gives the error. Please let me know what have I missed. Thanks in advance.

Here's the code

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include "opencv2/opencv.hpp"
#include "opencv2/xfeatures2d.hpp"
#include "harris_corner.h"

using namespace std;

class KeypointDescriptor 

public:

 KeypointDescriptor();

 virtual ~KeypointDescriptor() 

 void generate_keypoints(HarrisCorner&, cv::Mat&);
 void compute_descriptor(HarrisCorner&, cv::Mat&);

 cv::Ptr<cv::xfeatures2d::BriefDescriptorExtractor> desc_extr = cv::xfeatures2d::BriefDescriptorExtractor::create();
 cv::Mat descriptors;
 vector<cv::KeyPoint> kp;

;

The CMakeLists.txt is as below

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(Harris_Corner_Detector_fromScratch)

IF(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)
ENDIF()

set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH $PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR/build/cmake)

find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)

add_compile_options(-std=c++11)

include_directories(include
$PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR/
$PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR/include/
$OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS
)

add_library(HarrisCorner SHARED src/source_code/harris_corner.cpp)
add_library(KeypointDescriptor SHARED src/source_code/keypoint_descriptor.cpp)

add_executable(find_corner src/find_corner.cpp)
target_link_libraries(find_corner $OpenCV_LIBS 
 HarrisCorner)

add_executable(stitch_image src/stitch_image.cpp)
target_link_libraries(stitch_image $OpenCV_LIBS
 HarrisCorner
 KeypointDescriptor)

The output is as follows

I am using OpenCV that comes default with ROS Kinetic
