Could the README files in autopano-sift-c-2.5.1.tar.gz be brought up to
date?
They seem to bear little relation to the contents of the tarball, which
does not have /bin or /src directories, and instructions for
installation are so perfunctory as to be unintelligible to a non-expert.

As one of these I was just guessing what to do:

I ran "cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local" in
~/downloads/autopano-sift-c-2.5.1/
then "make"
then as root "make clean all"
which did install autopano-sift-c in
~/downloads/autopano-sift-c-2.5.1/APSCpp/, but *not* in /usr/local.
Then I copied autopano-sift-c to /usr/local/bin.

Is this correct? What else needs to be copied to /usr/local/bin or lib?

As root, "make install" should do the trick.

Cheers,

Many thanks! That did it.

Where should the request to update the README files go?

Please never try to compile as root.
Use e.g.
make
sudo make install
( But of course, it's your machine.)

Sorry, that should have been clearer (and that is what I do).

Perhaps better, although I don't know if autopano-sift-c is setup in
this way, is
make
make package
sudo dpkg -i packane-name

Best,

Seb

Sorry, I didn't make that clear. I always, as user,
configure, or whatever, then make, as user; then su; give
password; and then as root make install.

Practically nothing on my machine is permitted as sudoer.

The place to put it where it won't get lost is in the sourceforge
tracker.

...but I just changed the README in SVN, so the next release (if
there is one) won't have the hopelessly outdated C# build
instructions.
