macOS Sierra 10.12.6 libsiftgpu.so failed to build

[hippyvanman]

Hi,

Tried uninstalling brew (and then reinstalling through the installer), also tried separately installing Xcode command line tools, any suggestions?

---

Dan Monaghan's VSFM and PMVS installer for OS X

About to check to see if you have the Brew Package Manager
Great, you've got brew... Continuing
wget is already installed, OK
About to install xcode select
Hit Enter after it's installed
xcode-select: error: command line tools are already installed, use "Software Update" to install updates
Checking we have the right version of XQuartz

<string>2.7.8</string>

xquartz_version_result=0
Your version of XQuartz is 2.7.8 - perfect.

Ok, now you have to should have either...

1. Already had the correct version of XQuartz, so I'm continuing...

2. Had to have installed XQuartz and just logged out and back in...

Ready to continue the next installation of VSFM & PMVS (press ENTER)

I solved this problem by download the zip from https://github.com/pitzer/SiftGPU and disabling the lines 250 to 258.

After that you also have to change the following lines and replace every sed -i '' to sed -i

@Ninerian - You said "disabling the lines 250 to 258"... which file?

Then, you said, "After that you also have to change the following lines and replace every sed -i '' to sed -i"... Again which file?

[ghalusa]

@luckybulldozer - So, the reason why this is happening... is due to the fact that the sift_gpu.zip file size is zero bytes.

Just thought you should know...

[Ninerian]

@luckybulldozer @ghalusa the main reason is, that the url you are requesting for the sift_gpu.zip doesn’t exist and it returns a cgi file, which is renamed into a zip file. Then the unzip operation breaks with an error.

My workaround is to edit the install shell file in the mentioned way. A better solution would be to use the url of the GitHub Repo of siftGPU.

The second change I made could be only for my system. The sed commands like ‘sed -i '' -e "s/${S}/${R}/" makefile_no_gpu’ resolved in an file not found error, as the arguments are wrong. I changed it to ‘sed -i -e "s/${S}/${R}/" makefile_no_gpu’ and it worked.
