Issues with installing Glomap

[sselgrad23]

Hi,

I recently tried to install Glomap, but I have been facing some issues regarding some of the dependencies.
I managed to install Colmap, using the instructions on https://colmap.github.io/install.html:

sudo apt-get install
git
cmake
ninja-build
build-essential
libboost-program-options-dev
libboost-graph-dev
libboost-system-dev
libeigen3-dev
libflann-dev
libfreeimage-dev
libmetis-dev
libgoogle-glog-dev
libgtest-dev
libgmock-dev
libsqlite3-dev
libglew-dev
qtbase5-dev
libqt5opengl5-dev
libcgal-dev
libceres-dev

git clone https://github.com/colmap/colmap.git
cd colmap
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -GNinja
ninja
sudo ninja install

I then followed the following instructions to install Glomap:

git clone https://github.com/colmap/glomap.git
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -GNinja

At this point I begin receiving errors. The first error I received was:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
CMake 3.28 or higher is required. You are running version 3.16.3

So I then manually installed Cmake version 3.31.3.

After this, the second error I received was:

CMake Error at cmake/FindDependencies.cmake:3 (find_package):
“Could not find a configuration file for package "Eigen3" that is compatible
with requested version "3.4".

The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

/usr/lib/cmake/eigen3/Eigen3Config.cmake, version: 3.3.7
/lib/cmake/eigen3/Eigen3Config.cmake, version: 3.3.7

Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:16 (include)”

It appears the dependencies downloaded using sudo apt-get install command above are outdated by glomap’s standards. A similar error is received for ceres.

Please let me know if you have any insights or solutions to these issues.

Hi @sselgrad23, for GLOMAP, we require the version of Eigen package to at least 3.4. In your case, it is 3.3.7. I would suggest you to try to upgrade the Eigen library
