fatal error: boostdesc_bgm.i: No such file or directory

[lucasjinreal]

Using this cmake config:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON 
-D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv/opencv_contrib/modules -D BUILD_opencv_dnns_easily_fooled=OFF 
-D BUILD_opencv_dnn_modern=OFF -D BUILD_opencv_cnn_3dobj=OFF 
-D PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python
 -D WITH_CUDA=OFF -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF
 -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON  ..

Just disable some dnn module which need caffe, since I am not installed caffe. But I need xfeatures module which give me those errors. It seems boostdesc.cpp not able to found, but I installed libboost-all-dev.
Any idea about this would be very appreciated, because the exactly same process I have build succeed many times except this. My script build from latest source so I think it might be a recently bug!

Check CMake stdout log - it should warn about failed files downloading. Check CmakeDownloadLog.txt from build folder for details.

Currently xfeatures2d modules doesn't support conditional compilation with missing external files.

Similar problem: #1131

[lucasjinreal]

Many thanks, indeed cmake out shows that all things required by xfeature2d are all download fail:

But, it says unsupported protocol, what this exactly mean? I am able to access internet without doubt.
Anyway, those package can be locally downloaded and place into which folder?

[berak]

But, it says unsupported protocol, what this exactly mean?

the unsupported protocol is https in this case.
cmake calls either curl or wget internally, to download files, and whatever it used, it was misconfigured for https.

maybe updating curl (or wget) on your machine already helps, if not so, you could try to download the files manually, e.g.:

    curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opencv/opencv_3rdparty/34e4206aef44d50e6bbcd0ab06354b52e7466d26/boostdesc_lbgm.i > 0ea90e7a8f3f7876d450e4149c97c74f-boostdesc_lbgm.i 

(or simply from a webbrowser)
in the end, your opencv/.cache should look like this:

[lucasjinreal]

Very thanks berak, I'll check it.

[lucasjinreal]

Hi, berak, However another problem occured:

/home/jintian/Downloads/opencv/modules/stitching/include/opencv2/stitching/detail/matchers.hpp:52:42: fatal error: opencv2/xfeatures2d/cuda.hpp: No such file or directory

xxfeature2d cannot find cuda.hpp, but I already diabled CUDA. So disappointed. How to get rid of the problem caused by xfeature2d?

[berak]

sorry, idk. if you can't solve it, this should probably go into a new issue.

[lucasjinreal]

Hi, berak, I find that all those things needed by xfeature are all failed to download:

How to download them all. It seems this url not end with exactly file name:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opencv/opencv_3rdparty/34e4206aef44d50e6bbcd0ab06354b52e7466d26/boostdesc_lbgm.i 

I find those file names under opencv/.cache/xfeature2d, but just empty files, I think I have to manually download them, any idea about this?

[alalek]

Try to use fresh CMake version it should support https protocol (at least for files downloading).

[lysukhin]

To note, after I downloaded and pasted the boostdesc_* files, the same error was raised but with vgg_generated* ones. These can be downloaded from here.

[dearbar]

same issue。
My .cache file as shown, but still there will be a problem fatal error: boostdesc_bgm.i: No such file or directory.

At the same time, I would like to know these operations is not meant to fix the failure to download the problem?

What operations do I need to be able to compile?

[Firststep2014]

@berak hello,thanks for your reply,i guess the last filename should be e8d0dcd54d1bcfdc29203d011a797179-vgg_generated_48.i instead of e8d0dcd54d1bcfdc29203d011a797179-vgg_generated_48.i]

Meanwhile ,i've tried much time soloving this issues,but still can't pass through,could you help to check and give some advice.
Here is some imformations of the issue , actually seems like dearbar's question

Actually I've tried another way,but it still does not work

[berak]

@Firststep2014 , yes there was a typo. (thanks)

and you have to run cmake again, so it copies the files from cmake/.downloads to modules/xfeatures2d/src

[Firststep2014]

@berak OK,thanks,and I've tried copy all the file mannually , it worked

[Meera-C]

@Firststep2014 I am facing a similar problem. Can you please tell me which files you manually copied from where to where?

[aesyungan]

what is the solution?
