Docker Installation Fails

[FullMetalNicky]

I tried to build the library with Docker, after pulling the Github code.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mapillary/OpenSfM
Looks like despite pulling the submodules, the ThirdParty files for gtest are missing, resulting in the following error

Please advise on how to solve this. The whole point of providing a Docker is to have a smooth and painless installation...

I'm experiencing the same issue even though I'm not using docker to build the tool.

Is there any update in this matter?

The most frequent errors encountered are:

1. pyyaml installation error (cython error with pyyaml version 5.4.1)
2. pybundle error
3. third_party/gtest error

By reviewing the commit history from August 9 (commit ef872b2399cf1cc036d91e950f210a7be33c2745) onward, you’ll notice that all workflows for subsequent commits, like "Docker CI / Build docker and run tests (push)" and "Docker CI / Build docker installing CeresSolver 2 and run tests (push)," fail.

Below is a step-by-step guide explaining how I resolved these issues.

The missing files should be taken from the release, but only those for the third_party folder (missing gtest files), as the release uses outdated dependencies and likely Ceres 2.0.

To begin, create two clones of the latest repository:

• One will serve as the main repository.
• The other will be used to retrieve the missing parts.

In the root of the main repo, run:
`git submodule update --init --recursive
This will load the removed submodules.

In the main repo, remove pyyaml==5.4.1 from requirements.txt and install it manually with the following command:
pip install "cython<3.0.0" && pip install --no-build-isolation pyyaml==5.1

In the second repo, go to the August 9 commit:
git checkout ef872b2399cf1cc036d91e950f210a7be33c2745

From this commit, copy the missing files (gmock_gtest_all.cc, gmock_main.cc, testing_main.cc, and any other required files) into the main repository.
Now you should be able to build the image from the modified dockerfile in which you should install ceres 2.2 insted ceres 2.0
RUN \ curl -L http://ceres-solver.org/ceres-solver-2.2.0.tar.gz | tar xz && \ mkdir ceres-bin && cd ceres-bin && \ cmake ../ceres-solver-2.2.0 && \ make -j3 && \ make install

I did exactly what you said but now I have this error:

Do you have any idea how to solve this?

did you import OpenSfM/opensfm/src/third_party/vlfeat/vl from the "release" repository?

I'm having the same issue on windows, not using docker.

Try to import the folder content from the release.
Btw I managed to build the docker image but OpenSfM is still not running, this is the error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/code/OpenSfM/bin/opensfm_main.py", line 10, in <module> from opensfm import commands File "/code/OpenSfM/opensfm/__init__.py", line 2, in <module> from opensfm import pybundle ImportError: cannot import name 'pybundle' from partially initialized module 'opensfm' (most likely due to a circular import) (/code/OpenSfM/opensfm/__init__.py)

[DiegoHerrera1890]

You mean copying the files from the release folder?
I did that, but a bunch of new errors arose.

Then you can try from this commit: ef872b2
But as I told you previously It seems the docker build fails anyway (also in their github workflows)
