Build issues

[ghost]

Hello. I'm having trouble to build eos for a while. Can you give me a light in how to proceed to solve this kind of issue?

I followed the instructions exactly like that:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos.git
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ../eos -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install/
make

My first problem was with CV_BGR2BGRA ("undefined reference"). After searching a little bit, I found issue patrikhuber/4dface#40 of another repo and tried replacing this constant with 0. The installation went forward. Then it stopped with undefined reference to 'cv::imread'. I compiled and installed sucessfully opencv from the latest release. The full error trace is bellow:

Hi,
Without knowing more details, this looks like some issue with OpenCV to me. Make sure that OpenCV is found correctly and that it's being linked to. You seem to be building on Linux probably, so you could have a look at the .travis.yml at the root of the repo for one exact way to successfully build it. It also works well on Arch Linux's OpenCV >3 though and with self-built OpenCV versions (apart from the CV_BGR2BGRA issue though but that's easy enough to fix, that constant is in the cv:: namespace since 3.x or so). Maybe it's also possible you need to link to opencv_imgcodecs or something like that, you can check their docu in which module the imread and the other functions reside in the latest version (or in the version you're using).

Hello, I'm also having trouble in building this project. I'm looking forward to your reply soon. Many thanks for your help.

@zsw667291 It seems like you're using the CMake Makefile generator with Visual Studio. I don't have any experience with that. It does look like a boost problem, something with linking, maybe it's not linking to the boost libraries, or to an incompatible build. You could always check the compiler/linker command-line (perhaps with make VERBOSE=1). This is a question more suited for a site like StackOverflow.

Note that you only need boost for the example app, not for the library. You can integrate eos into your own apps without having to use boost or OpenCV.

Hi,

I did a new build of OpenCV, in a new system, and everything went fine. I think the main difference is that I was before trying to directly reference the opencv local build directory with some flags passed to cmake, while now I actually installed OpenCV to the system. Besides "sudo make install", I did "sudo ldconfig", which was something I did not know about before. Summarizing, the build issues were related with OpenCV not being properly installed. Cmake was something I didn't use before and I had to take some time to familiarize with it. My fault.

Thanks again for your help Patrik.

Hi @davidmoseler,
I see, glad it works. Just for future reference, note that local OpenCV installations are no issue at all, OpenCV_DIR in CMake just has to be pointed at OpenCV's share/ directory where its cmake-config files are, and everything works completely smoothly. That's much better than messing with the system packages via sudo make install.
