SIBR viewer compiling error

[brianneoberson]

Hello,

I've trained one of the Neural3D scenes and want to inspect the results using the SIBR viewer. I followed the instructions in the comments of script/setup.sh but after replacing the two folders mentioned in the instructions and running cmake --build build --target install --config RelWithDebInfo I get the following error:

Would you have any suggestions to fix this problem? I'm not sure if I missed a step or if there is a problem with the CudaRasterizer code.

[lizhan17]

did you install on windows ? we only test the viewer on windows.

if you replace files, there should a hidden .git in the original folder, please do not replace that .git folder.

[brianneoberson]

Thanks for the quick response! I indeed made sure not to replace the gaussian_splatting/SIBR_viewers/.git file. But I am not using windows, I am on Linux. Is there no way to make it work on Linux?

[lizhan17]

you probablly try to build 3dgs' viewer on Linux. Then, just replace 3dgs' viewer code with the code we provide. (you can think as if you modify the 3dgs' viewer and then re-build the viewer).

[brianneoberson]

yes, that is what I did. I am building on Linux after replacing the files mentioned. But I get the error as showed above...

[lizhan17]

i will try to go through the linux pipeline to build the code. please give me two weeks. I am busy with some other stuffs.

[brianneoberson]

I'm not sure what went wrong the first time, but I tried cloning the gaussian-splatting repo again and replacing the two folders again. The build was successful this time. :)

@brianneoberson would it be possible to provide a small install tutorial for linux?

[brianneoberson]

@brianneoberson would it be possible to provide a small install tutorial for linux?

I'm not really sure I can give more information than the provided instructions apart from the fact that I had to make sure to copy the files individually such as to not overwrite the .git file.

[szat]

I keep getting this error, anyone has any ideas?
