Compiling on OSX Mavericks 10.9.3 with clang and No-ROS (Success!) about rpg_svo

[cfo]

Hi,
thanks for your feedback!
I fixed the last two ERRORS and added a cmake config file for rpg_vikit. On my computer it is found anyway so I couldn't really test it but it should work..
I am not sure what we can do about the other things. Maybe I will just add a link to this page in the Wiki.
Best,
Christian

That's another issue related to Mac Mavericks (Xcode 5.1). When I compile svo, the compiler gives such message:

[  4%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/svo.dir/src/frame_handler_mono.cpp.o
clang: error: unknown argument: '-funsafe-loop-optimizations' [-Wunused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future]
clang: note: this will be a hard error (cannot be downgraded to a warning) in the future
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/svo.dir/src/frame_handler_mono.cpp.o] Error 1

It seems that the compiler with the new xcode is quite restrictive when it comes to warnings. I guess that may need additional ARCHFLAGS but I don't know which one is proper.

isnanf() is not defined on OSX, could this:
if(isnanf(norm_scale))
just be changed to:
if(isnan(norm_scale))
without major performance hits?

[cfo]

i changed it to std::isnan(). (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/math/isnan)

Thanks!

Very similar experience to @b4silio. Kudos to him for finding the workarounds!

This is on OSX 10.9.5, using XCode 6.0.1.

Follow all directions in https://github.com/uzh-rpg/rpg_svo/wiki/Installation:-Plain-CMake-(No-ROS), with the following modifications:

Eigen

brew install eigen is the only command necessary. (Don't have brew? Install it here.)

Sophus

In sophus/so2.cpp replace:

unit_complex_.real() = 1.; 
unit_complex_.imag() = 0.;

with:

unit_complex_ = Complexd(1.,0.);

(Could the SVO maintainers upgrade to using latest Sophus? It compiles correctly on OSX.)

Fast

(No OpenCV problems similar to those reported by @b4silio.)

In CMakeLists.txt, remove -Wno-unused-but-set-variable

(Could the SVO maintainers make this flag compiler dependent? Clang fails due to its presence.)

G2O (optional)

skipped

Vikit

(No OpenCV problems similar to those reported by @b4silio.)
(No find_package() problems similar to those reported by @b4silio.)

RPG-SVO

In CMakeLists.txt, remove -Wno-unused-but-set-variable

(Could the SVO maintainers make this flag compiler dependent? Clang fails due to its presence.)

Running the tests

The tests work fine, as does test_pipeline on a custom dataset!

Thanks for your experience sharing (especially the complex number part in Sophus)! I can compile the source smoothly on OS X 10.10.2 with Xcode 6.1.1!

On an OS X 10.10.3 with Xcode 6.3.1, I have Sophus installed, and the files are present at /usr/local/include/sophus. All the tests for Sophus pass. The tail of make install for Sophus goes like

Install the project...

Now when I try to build rpg_svo/svo the output of cmake .. from build dir

MACOSX_RPATH is not specified for the following targets:

   svo

Here is the output of make

I can't seem to find out the solution for this. What could be causing it?

[Dabrant]

@pranny I'm pretty sure you just forgot to checkout the a621ff commit of Sophus as mentioned in the wiki page for the install instructions https://github.com/uzh-rpg/rpg_svo/wiki/Installation:-Plain-CMake-(No-ROS). This will give you the .h files instead of the .hpp files in the current master branch. That seems to be what's giving you the file not found fatal error.

Hi, Everyone,

Thanks for the helpful posts for running SVO on Mac without ROS. I have successfully compiled the code and all tests seem work except ./test_depth_filter. It causes errors in two places listed below. Please help me and let me know how to fix the problem. Thanks!

======= Problem 1 ============
When I run ./test_pipeline, it processed frames 2 thru 185, and then prints the following error:
[INFO] DepthFilter stop thread invoked.
[INFO] DepthFilter interrupt and join thread...
[INFO] DepthFilter destructed.
test_pipeline(81278,0x7fffa1afb380) malloc: *** error for object 0x4d0023004d000b: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

======== Problem 2 =========
When I run ./test_depth_filter, it runs into the following error:
RUN EXPERIMENT: read 187 dataset entries.
reading image: '/Users/weiminshen99/GitHub/SVO/Datasets/sin2_tex2_h1_v8_d/img/frame_000002_0.png'

@weiminshen99, have you solved Problem 1 yet? I have the exactly the same error.
