Problem while unpacking 3dtk-build-deps and installing dependencies

[Unver Akmandor]

Hi,

I am trying to install the 3DTK on my laptop in which Ubuntu 16.04 is
operating. I went through the steps that were provided in INSTALL.MD file as follows:

$ echo deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe |
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends equivs subversion
$ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/slam6d/code/trunk slam6d-code
$ cd slam6d-code
$ equivs-build doc/equivs/control
$ sudo dpkg -i 3dtk-build-deps_1.0_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get -f install --no-install-recommends
$ make
$ bin/slam6D dat
$ bin/show dat

At the step where I ran the code:

sudo dpkg -i 3dtk-build-deps_1.0_all.deb

it gives me such error:

(Reading database ... 482572 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack 3dtk-build-deps_1.0_all.deb ...

Errors were encountered while processing:

Since I don't have much experience and knowledge on Ubuntu systems, I
tried to install these dependencies for example by:

sudo apt-get install catkin

but then I got these output:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

installed

Depends: libftgl-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libglfw3-dev but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

so I think it is not the proper way to install these packages. Could you
explain me (for a beginner level Ubuntu user) what should I do to install
these packages and at the end make run the 3DTK software on my computer.

Hi Unver,

I am trying to install the 3DTK on my laptop in which Ubuntu 16.04 is
operating. I went through the steps that were provided in INSTALL.MD
http://INSTALL.MD file as follows:

there were some issues with the content of INSTALL.md which I fixed now.

$ echo deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main universe |
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

If you are really using Ubuntu 16.04, then you should not add the package
repositories for Ubuntu Trusty. Ubuntu Trusty is 14.04. For 16.04 you need
Xenial.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends equivs subversion
$ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/slam6d/code/trunk slam6d-code
$ cd slam6d-code
$ equivs-build doc/equivs/control

The right control file for you would be:

doc/equivs/control.ubuntu.xenial

$ sudo dpkg -i 3dtk-build-deps_1.0_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get -f install --no-install-recommends
$ make
$ bin/slam6D dat
$ bin/show dat

At the step where I ran the code:

sudo dpkg -i 3dtk-build-deps_1.0_all.deb

it gives me such error:

[...]

so I think it is not the proper way to install these packages. Could you
explain me (for a beginner level Ubuntu user) what should I do to install
these packages and at the end make run the 3DTK software on my computer.

Another problem was, that the package repositories were missing the
"multiverse" repository. This is why it couldn't find some packages. But this
is also fixed in the INSTALL.md file now.

Just redo the steps with what it currently says in INSTALL.md.

Thanks!

cheers, josch

Thanks Josch.

Now there is a progress but unfortunately cannot fully run the 3DTK yet. Could you help me again in further issues that I tried to explain below.

I did the updated steps up to "make" part. But when I run the "make", it gives me such output:

As I understand, since I have multiple python compilers (2.7, 3, 3.5 etc.), there might be a confliction on the default boost library that the program needs.

I also searched from the internet how I can fix this issue and tried to reinstall boost libraries for python with this command:
sudo apt install libboost-program-options-dev libboost-python-dev

But for the output I get they are already newest versions as in here:

Reading package lists... Done

libboost-program-options-dev is already the newest version (1.58.0.1ubuntu1).

libboost-python-dev is already the newest version (1.58.0.1ubuntu1).
libboost-python-dev set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Also there might be a problem caused by the name of the boost library that 3DTK configuration seeks since it wants boost_python-py36 but all of my boosts starting withlibboost.

Also I tried to look for how to set "BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of Boost.", but I could not find how to do it.

Since I think my configuration is not fully set, even as the output says "Build environment is set up!", I could not go further and run

$ bin/slam6D dat
$ bin/show dat

since slam6D gives slam6D: command not found error.

Yes, this is the expected output because libboost-python-dev got installed
together with the meta package you created.

Also there might be a problem caused by the name of the boost library that
3DTK configuration seeks since it wants boost_python-py36 but all of my
boosts starting withlibboost.

Also I tried to look for how to set "BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory
containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of Boost.", but I
could not find how to do it.

I'm surprised that you are running into problems because our Ubuntu 16.04
Xenial Docker image can build 3DTK with the python bindings without problems.

Do you really need the bindings?

If not, just compile with WITH_PYTHON=OFF

If you need them, we could further investigate the issue.

Thanks!

Hi josch,

I cannot compile it by even using your suggestion:
~/slam6d-code$ make WITH_PYTHON=OFF

It still gives me such error output:

Hi Unver,

Quoting Unver Akmandor (2018-03-26 00:18:17)

I cannot compile it by even using your suggestion:
~/slam6d-code$ make WITH_PYTHON=OFF

3DTK uses CMake to configure the project and WITH_PYTHON is a CMake
configuration switch. So you should either use a graphical program like ccmake
to configure 3DTK and set WITH_PYTHON to OFF or you run:

cmake -DWITH_PYTHON=OFF

After having done that you can just run make without any arguments because by
that time, your project is configured and knows that you don't want to compile
Python.

Thanks!

cheers, josch

[Unver Akmandor]

Thanks Josch for all your help and patience =) Now I can run the toolbox with given dat.
