[Tex/LaTex] Undefined control sequence \makecvtitle

header-footermoderncvtitles

Here is what I got

  Undefined controlsequence.
    \makecvtitle ->\recomputecvlengths \makecvfooter 
                                                     \newbox {\makecvtitlepictur...
    l.79 \makecvtitle

\makecvtitle complains about \makecvfooter. The command is named \makecvfoot however in moderncv.cls.

The Resumé needs \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} (or explicitly use Resum\'e there.
