collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Solution:
manually specify the header file and link library of PCL:

# find_package(PCL 1.11.0 EXACT REQUIRED) 
# add_definitions( ${PCL_DEFINITIONS} )

-------Modify---：
file(GLOB PCL_LIBRARIES /usr/local/lib/libpcl_*)
set(PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS /usr/local/include/pcl-1.11)

INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${PROJECT_NAME} ${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${PROJECT_NAME} ${PCL_LIBRARIES})
