Provide binaries for Windows/macOS/Linux #128

Closed steren closed 6 years ago

steren commented 6 years ago

For users who are not comfortable following the installation steps, I would recommend providing pre-built binaries. These could be hosted on the releases page of this GitHub repository.

I suppose that this would greatly help with the adoption of this software, as there are not a lot of free and open source photogrametry software of such quality.

@yann-lty is the lack of binaries for Mac due to you not having a Mac available? Or was there just no time to get a build up?

griwodz commented 6 years ago

The slowest stage of AliceVision (depthMap) requires an NVidia GPU, and that is currently difficult to get in a Mac.

I know that the NVidia drivers work and it is possible to put NVidia cards into external cabinets, but we don’t have equipment that.

I see. Thanks. I do sport a Mac Pro with an Nvidia card, but my last attempt at building failed unfortunately and I didn't have enough time to resolve all the build errors (plus lack of experience in that area). I'll play with the other builds for now. Thanks.

@AlexKucera: @ryanfb made this awesome guide to use Meshroom/AliceVision on MacOS. I didn't have the chance to test it myself but you should definitely take a loot at it!

Hi, just saw informations about meshroom on youtube and want to try it out. Sadly i do not find an meshroom.exe file in the win64 zip file. Is somewhere a documentation or video that shows what i have to do so i can start it on windows?

ChemicalXandco commented 6 years ago

@RandAlThor70 In the file Meshroom-2018.1.0-win64.zip you will see a folder called Meshroom-2018.1.0 copy that folder into another directory, like your desktop. This will uncompress it. Now enter the folder on the desktop that you just copied and you will see a file called Meshroom.exe run it and you can now use meshroom!

Hi, are there any plans to have Meshroom support AMD GPUs in the future via OpenCL or otherwise?

RandAlThor70 commented 6 years ago

@ChemicalXandco Thank you for the information. I think i have the wrong file and download it again. Unpacking a folder is something a have done once or twice in the last twenty years :)
