TypeInfo exception while including pcl library

I am trying to include a pcl library into plugin. pcl builds use typeid and typeinfo statements, which require me to disable -fno-rtti flag to compile (Set "Enable C++ Runtime Types to YES" in build settings). This leads to the following error in linking phase below.
Is there a way around it?

Thanks

This is how I would do it

1. Move all your pcl stuff into a separate *.h and *.cpp. Only *.cpp should contain the pcl includes;
2. Add an include for your pcl header in your plugin class
3. Set "Enable C++ Runtime Types to YES" for your target
4. Go to Build Phases ->Compile Sources, Double click on the main file and add -fno-rtti compiler option.

This should in principle enable RTTI for the entire project except the main plugin class.

Cheers.

Thanks @eight_io. This works exactly. However, now I am getting weird boost's shared pointer deallocation errors, while exiting the plugin. Any ideas how to fix signal SIGABRT with the trace below?

Hard to say without looking at the code, but it seems that this is the issue of using shared pointer. Read the boost best practices on using shared pointers: 1) use named variables for shared pointers 2) use make_shared to allocate them. In the interim, you could also declare them as global variables instead method variables -- that will bomb when you exit Cinema but not earlier.
