Point Cloud Library (PCL) basic tutorial cmake and make errors on Ubuntu 16.04

I've been trying to get PCL (1.8) working properly on my system (Ubuntu 16.04) but I am struggling to get even the basic tutorial to work. I could not install the prebuilt binaries supplied by pointclouds.org so instead followed the answer from this post over on stack overflow and used the native repository from Ubuntu to install v1.8.

I then began to run into the same issues raised in this question. I fixed some of them myself using symlinks to correct paths broken by renaming and also installed the missing packages that I could. However I am unable to successfully create a usable makefile.

I am trying to follow this tutorial from pointclouds.org just so I can make sure everything is working.

Output from running cmake:

As can quite easily been seen, what is outputted is very different to what is shown in the tutorial.

It does create a build file so I can run make which errors and outputs:

[ 50%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/pcd_write_test.dir/pcd_write.cpp.o
[100%] Linking CXX executable pcd_write_test
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvtkproj4
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/pcd_write_test.dir/all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

I've tried what I can but maybe I lack enough experience to get this all sorted and working.

I also manually installed the package libproj-dev which has been suggested but this did not fix the issue.

Any help would be much appreciated!
