服务器安装colmap简要记录

在尝试执行项目https://github.com/ahojnnes/local-feature-evaluation/ 时，安装colmap的过程遇到的问题简要记录一下。主要是由于自己不熟悉linux和非root用户下配置和安装。

1. 解压Eigen3后，在 ceres-solver-1.14.0 的 FindEigen.cmake中添加Eigen3 的路径，否则会找不到Eigen3.

2. 在colmap/build中执行 cmake … -DTESTS_ENABLED=OFF 时，添加上ceres-solver 的路径，-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/fanbin/ceres-solver；否则会报错：

   CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:87 (find_package):
   By not providing "FindCeres.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
   asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "Ceres", but
   CMake did not find one.
   
   Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Ceres" with any of the following names:
   
   CeresConfig.cmake
   ceres-config.cmake
   
   Add the installation prefix of "Ceres" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
   "Ceres_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Ceres"
   provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
   installed.
   
   
   

   在CMakeLists.txt 中第一行添加set (CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH “/home/fanbin/ceres-solver”)这么做应该也可以。

3. 在colmap的 FindEigen.cmake中添加了 Eigen3 的路径

4. 安装freeimage，make编译完成后.h和.a文件都在freeimage/dist文件夹下。在colmap/cmake中的findfreeimage.cmake中添加freeimage的路径；否则报错如下：

   CMake Error at cmake/FindFreeImage.cmake:91 (message):
     Could not find FreeImage
   Call Stack (most recent call first):
     CMakeLists.txt:99 (find_package)
   
   
   -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
   See also "/home/fanbin/colmap/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
   See also "/home/fanbin/colmap/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
   
   

   没有sudo权限的话无法用make DESTDIR= install安装。不知为什么。

5. 安装 ceres-solver 的时候，即使设置了安装目录ceres-solver，也只是把include和lib放在了ceres-solver中，二进制文件和一些.a文件仍然是在ceres-bin的bin目录和lib目录下。可见ceres-solver-1.14.0的Cmakelists.txt的79-81行。

6. 用cmake指定安装路径：

• passing it as a command line argument just like Job mentioned:

  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=< install_path > ..
  

  • assigning value to it in CMakeLists.txt:

  SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX < install_path >)
  

  But do remember to place it BEFORE PROJECT(< project_name>) command, otherwise it will not work!（before和after都试试）

7. 以上问题都注意到，即可cmake成功

8. make后报错：

   /home/fanbin/anaconda2/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5.6.2: undefined reference to `operator delete[](void*, unsigned long)@CXXABI_1.3.9'
   /home/fanbin/anaconda2/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.6.2: undefined reference to `__cxa_throw_bad_array_new_length@CXXABI_1.3.8'
   /home/fanbin/anaconda2/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5.6.2: undefined reference to `operator delete(void*, unsigned long)@CXXABI_1.3.9'
   collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
   make[2]: *** [src/exe/colmap] Error 1
   make[1]: *** [src/exe/CMakeFiles/colmap_exe.dir/all] Error 2
   make: *** [all] Error 2
   fanbin@GPU:~/colmap/build$
   

   解决方案：
   据说是c++11和依赖libstdc++库的原因。也有人说把g++升级到5.3以上就可以，因为Qt的库是较高版本的g++编译的。
   在此，未升级gcc，用这条命令cmake，然后就可make成功。gcc4.8用c++11需要指定出来。

   cmake .. -DTESTS_ENABLED=OFF -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS='-static-libstdc++ -std=c++11'
