Progress on Snap Packaging project for ODM

Developers Chat

I’ve been working hard, and have filed fixing PRs for the following:

I’ve got a complete build of ODM in a Snap but there are a few issues to work through including:

  • Need to ensure that OpenSfM is up-to-date so that the change above is included to enable the newer OpenCV to be usable - @pierotofy has a PR which I hope will help here
  • Need to ensure that the update to OpenCV 4.5.0 doesn’t break anything
  • Need to work out the required Snap permissions (interfaces) for the package to be functional

  • OpenCV 4.5.0 appears to be good-to-go. I’ve successfully parsed at least the mygla dataset using the Docker build (non-portable - I need to double check the portable build edit: portable also works).
  • Piero merged the OpenCV changes into their work-in-progress to update OpenSfM.
  • Piero discovered a problem with the OpenCV update which is due to an issue with the GCC wrapper scripts used to enforce the nehalem architecture baseline for the built binaries. I’ve created a PR to fix the GCC wrappers

Good news! My snapcraft.yaml build recipe is now merged. This will, when used with the snapcraft utility or the build.snapcraft.io service run by Canonical, build ODM into a Snap Package based on core18 (in turn based on Ubuntu 18.04) ready for distribution via the Snap Store.

My next efforts will be directed towards a filesystem image for use on WSL, installable via a PowerShell incantation like:

wsl --import OpenDroneMap "${env:APPDATA}\OpenDroneMap" "Z:\path\to\odm-filesystem-image.tar.gz"

With today’s flurry of PRs filed, I believe we’re fully Snapped, WSLed, and Ported to Ubuntu 20.04!

I think that leaves just making sure the GitHub Actions workflows are operating correctly, and then I’ll be done :slight_smile:

Edit: Fix GitHub Actions

Edit 2: REAMDE.md now including WSL instructions

Edit 3: README.md now including Snap instructions
