Problems while installing openMVS #163

Closed patsia closed 7 years ago

patsia commented 7 years ago

Hi everybody i have a problem while installing openMVS on Ubuntu: i followed exactly this steps: https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS/wiki/Building

but there is allways the error: CMake Error at build/Utils.cmake:216 (message): VCG required, but not found: Please specify VCG directory using VCG_ROOT env. variable

how to proceed? I already added the path to the .profile in my home-folder but it still doesn't work Maybe someone could help me (as for dummies)? Thx :-)

I think you might have missed the step main_path=`pwd`, or you were in wrong directory when you did main_path=`pwd` or you missed the step where you clone vcglib repository .

Either way, go to the directory where you have openMVS and openMVS_build directories ie. /home/patsia/build. Then:

main_path=`pwd`
git clone https://github.com/cdcseacave/VCG.git vcglib
cd openMVS_build
cmake . ../openMVS -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DVCG_DIR="$main_path/vcglib"
make -j2 && sudo make install

Thx very very much! :-) You saved my laptop from getting thrown out of the window ;-) main_path='pwd' was the point, don't know how i could have missed it (twice) but with this line, everything went perfect. Thanks again.

Where i go wrong? @rennu

Is that full log? You need to follow full instructions. You can pretty much copy & paste the instructions to console and it'll work.

The message above only had instructions how to fix patsia's case.
