Compatibility with Ubuntu 12.04

[dakotabenjamin]

I'm working on the branch called pp-precise-comp in order to improve compatibility with Ubuntu 12.04, which is supported until 2017. It would appear that there are a few issues with this:

• Ceres (and as such, OpenSfM) does not want to compile. This was temporarily going to be solved by disabling ceres and OpenSfM, and forcing the use of bundler instead.
• However, bundler apparently ALSO uses ceres (which is good and all, but I can't get it to compile!)

Any help would be appreciated.

[dakotabenjamin]

Here is my kludge approach to getting it working in 12.04 (from the gh-pages branch) NOTE OpenSfM does not work; you must specify --use-bundler in the run command.

#cmake

tar xvf cmake-3.4.0.tar.gz

cd 

curl --progress-bar --location -o gflags.tar.gz https://github.com/gflags/gflags/archive/v2.0.tar.gz

#compile suitesparse:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
sudo make install
cd 

# Replace ln 117-130 in install.sh with:

@paulinus why do you think OpenSfM doesn't work under 12.04 and what steps do you think I should take to get it functional? It compiles alright but running it runs into this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/vagrant/OpenDroneMap/src/OpenSfM/bin/detect_features", line 11, in <module>
    from opensfm import features
  File "/home/vagrant/OpenDroneMap/src/OpenSfM/opensfm/features.py", line 12, in <module>
    import csfm

n_all" opensfm
returned with code 256.

The only issue I found in OpenSfM was #41. Was there any resolution? Do I need to fix to libsuitesparse build?

[paulinus]

This seems a problem with ceres and its dependencies. I'm trying to reproduce it. Will let you know when i get something.

i failed to run install.sh under Debian 7.9, it seems the problem is automake version. Debian 7.9 automake is 1.11.6 and google glog require 1.14

I have success running install.sh under Debian 8.2, automake version 1.14.1

i hope it helps to fix Ubuntu 12.04.

I got Script finished under Ubuntu 12.04.5, i hope this build is ok !

Some minor changes: a) fix missing "sudo" make install ( gflags ) b) install automake 1.15 for glog and ceres c) replace libboost 1.46 by 1.48

Are we giving up on 12.04? If so, we should close this issue.

[dakotabenjamin]

16.04 is the new LTS so yeah
