building openSFM on Apple M1 MacStudio fails: missing symbols for arm64

[cwgamma]

I am attempting to build openSFM on a Apple M1 CPU. Others have tried this and submitted an addition to CMakeLists.txt in opensfm/src directory.

For compiling VLFeat

add_definitions(-DVL_DISABLE_AVX)
if( ${CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR} STREQUAL "arm64" )
    add_definitions( -DVL_DISABLE_SSE2 )
endif()

This correction permitted the build to continue to the linking stage that failed.

Here is the screen output with the error:

What is the solution here?

Thanks!

Try passing -DOPENSFM_BUILD_TESTS=OFF to cmake.
