ebuild for autopano-sift

Mostly "hotheads" ebuild.  See 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=251842&highlight=autopanosift
in forums.  Version 2.1 of autopano-sift.  Should be under media-gfx.

[Comment 2 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-12-21 08:49:31 UTC]

Ick, fix that global scope export please. Should be in pkg_setup...

[Comment 3 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2004-12-21 10:12:53 UTC]

1) Use the mono eclass to avoid this MONO_SHARED_DIR problem.

2) As much as possible, *.exe should avoid going into /usr/bin. *.dll *definitely* shouldn't be there. Please see how muine or blam handle the placement of their files.

  autopano-sift-2.1-r1.ebuild, autopano-sift : Changed
  MONO_SHARED_DIR to importing the mono eclass, changed install
  directory to /usr/lib/autopano-sift, added shell script

Just a small note for some people to save you some time. If you have the nptl USE flag enabled, just disable it for autopano-sift. If you use nptl, it will require gcc-3.4 for mono, which is required by autopano-sift.

Got rid of some madness in the SRC_URI

Download the script manually and put in the ./files dir relative to the ebuild.

This is an amazing program. You have to see it to believe it.

[Comment 13 David Grant 2005-01-16 23:31:34 UTC]

Hello panorama enthusiasts,

I am proud to announce a new version of autopano-sift, version 2.2.  It adds a
refining step for the keypoints found in which a small part of the original
sized image is extracted for high precision matching (think "auto-refine" of
hugin on steroids  ;-) .  For the best matching results possible.

As always its available from

	http://cs.tu-berlin.de/~nowozin/autopano-sift/

However, I have not gotten around to include the feature into the Windows GUI,
sorry (if somebody wants to help with that, patches are welcome).  The
refinement is only available on the command line and from the Gtk# GUI.


Here is the CHANGES.txt:

autopano-sift 2.2, libsift 1.7
2005/01/15

  + Add best quality refinement of control point matches.  To enable this, run
    autopano.exe with "--refine".  Note that the original image files need to
    be available.  Further information available in the manpage.  (So far its
    not available in the native Windows GUI).
  + Add options to autopanog, the Gtk# GUI.
  + Update documentation.

Enjoy,
Sebastian Nowozin <[e-mail]>

[Comment 15 David Grant 2005-01-17 00:37:13 UTC]

Should this be assigned to graphics?

[Comment 16 Peter Johanson (RETIRED) 2005-01-18 10:53:19 UTC]

CCing them, in case they have more time than I for things like this.


David: until mono is more pervasive, most mono consuming apps get assigned to dotnet herd, as we're used to the problems involved with these apps.

If i find time this week, i'll get this guy into portage.

[Comment 17 seddes 2005-01-18 18:41:52 UTC]

Just to confirm, 2.2 worked fine for me.  Stitched 5 photos with autopano-sift, hugin, and enblend.

[Comment 18 Karl Tomlinson 2005-01-19 13:58:52 UTC]

Great package.
All worked fine except the new refinement step which sometimes failed with:

Refining keypoints
...
Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: BUG: less than three neighbours!
in <0x0036f> MultiMatch:BuildGlobalMatchList ()
in <0x000f2> MultiMatch:TwoPatchMatch (System.Collections.ArrayList,int,int,System.Collections.ArrayList,int,int,bool)
in <0x00836> Autopano:RefineKeypoints (System.Collections.ArrayList,bool,bool)
in <0x00a92> Autopano:Main (string[])

This could be worked around by either increasing the --maxmatches number or using the --refine-by-mean option.

generic script to run autopano-sift utilities

autopano-sift-2.2-r1.ebuild

Modified to

Install autopano-complete.sh.
Make utilities easier to run with symlinks in /usr/bin to generic script.
Not install ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll as this is provided by mono.
Not install autopano-win32.exe.
Install the binaries compiled from source instead of the prebuilt binaries.

I changed the gui to be run with autopanog instead of autopano-sift because I
thought it was more consistent with the man page.

[Comment 21 miolinux 2005-02-25 00:42:45 UTC]

The 2.2-r1 ebuild creates /usr/bin/autopanog,
but this is a symlink pointing to /usr/bin/autopano
that is not installed by the ebuild!

$ etcat -f =autopano-sift-2.2-r1|grep -i bin
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/generatekeys
/usr/bin/autopano-complete.sh
/usr/bin/autopanog

$ ls -al /usr/bin/autopanog
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 Feb 25 09:29 /usr/bin/autopanog -> autopano


the solution is to create /usr/bin/autopano with the "generic script to run autopano-sift utilities" attachment,
but i think the ebuild should do that.

bye

[Comment 22 Colin Macdonald 2005-02-25 09:16:44 UTC]

Comment #21, there is another file called "generic script to run autopano-sift utilities" in the list of attachments that you need to download and put in /usr/local/portage/.../autopano-sift/files.  It is the script you describe.  I also missed this the first time and the ebuild doesn't die if it is missing (which is a bug I think).  Since its only a 1 liner, I think the ebuild should just create the appropriate script rather then putting another file in the portage tree.

autopano-sift-2.2-r1.ebuild

I agree with Comment #22 that the ebuild should create the script to run mono
on autopano-sift utilities (if we need one) rather than have another file in
portage for everyone to sync.  Modified the ebuild to do this.

[Comment 24 Colin Macdonald 2005-03-12 19:54:14 UTC]

mono dep should change to dev-lang instead of dev-dotnet.

[Comment 27 Bernard Cafarelli 2005-03-31 10:27:52 UTC]

Same thing here (and amd64 too). But the error is related to a "autopano-win32" thing the makefile wants to build... Since gentoo is a linux system, I removed the offending lines from the makefile and voila, autopanog is available on amd64 :)

I added to src_compile():
sed -i "s/^.*win32.*$//" util/Makefile
(after the cd ${S}/src line).

Please test and then add to portage.

I've tested this version and it works for me.

[Comment 29 Bernard Cafarelli 2005-04-10 04:34:41 UTC]

At last, this new version is usable with a screen resolution smaller than 1280x1024!
As for the "autopano-win32" compile problem on amd64, i think it doesn't appear on x86 with the help of dev-dotnet/winelib (since the error is related to Windows.Forms). But with the makefile tweak it runs quite well.

autopano-sift-2.2-r1.ebuild

autopano-sift-2.3 resolves the "less than three neighbours" issue mentioned in
Comment #18 (for at least one case that failed with 2.2).

[Comment 31 Hal Engel 2005-04-21 12:47:29 UTC]

The amd64 compile error happens when trying to build the byte code.  The simplest way around this is to simply copy the byte code from the bin directory in the autopano-sift tarball to someplace in the path.  After all this byte code is the same no matter where it is being run.  Both 2.2 and 2.3 have worked fine after doing this.  I have not tried installing dev-dotnet/winelib so I do not know if this works on amd64.  Perahps some other amd64 person could try the ebuild after installing dev-dotnet/winelib.

There are a number of amd64 users on the hugin list that have the whole suite of tools running in 64bit mode including at least 2 Gentoo users.  This includes autopano-sift, hugin, nona, PTOptimizer and enblend.  The only thing that does not work in 64 bit mode is PTStitcher which is only available as a 32 bit binary.  I have it running in 32 bit mode. The biggest hang up getting autopano-sift running is getting the correct versions of mono and related installed.  I have mono-1.1.5, libgdiplus-1.1.5, gtk-sharp-1.0.8 and glade-sharp-1.0.8.  All of these are masked for amd64 or hard masked for all archs but appear to work fine.  At the time I installed these they were the latest versions.  Versions of mono <1.1 do not correctly support the amd64.

[Comment 32 Steven Brown 2005-05-08 12:06:39 UTC]

When emerging autopano-sift-2.3, I got the same error as in Comment 26.
Using:
	mono 1.1.6-r1
	libgdiplus-1.1.5
	gtk-sharp-1.0.8
	glade-sharp-1.0.8

(I'm on x86)

Then I followed the directions in Comment 27, and it worked!  Thanks a lot!

Added to the tree.  Thanks everyone.

[Comment 34 Hans Oischinger 2006-02-13 02:14:23 UTC]

There is one glitch in the current ebuild:
autopano-sift requires an unstable version of libgdiplus to downscale images for processing.
libgdiplus 1.1.11 worked fine for me. However the currently stable version 1.1.8 made generatekeys crash here.
