EXECUTABLES

Users communities produce executables for their respective platforms.

These executables are then added to the download section on SourceForge at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/

A number of users have built recent snapshots and executables are likely to be
announced within a few days of this tarball release.

CHANGES SINCE 2011.4.0

The lensfun library for reading and writing lens parameters from/to database has now been integrated into Hugin.
Users can now search the lensfun library and load lens parameters.

Added new tool pto_gen for generation of pto file from image files.

Other Improvements

  * Various improvements to cpfind including a prealign matching strategy and pair     wise matching for multirow heuristic
  * Added option to keep exposure fused stacks
  * pano_modify: Added HDR autocrop option
  * Many more improvements and bug fixes.


UPGRADING

Upgrading from previous versions of Hugin should be seamless. If you do have
problems with old settings, these can be reset in the Preferences by clicking
'Load defaults'.

It is strongly recommeded to set the default control point detector to
Hugin's CPFind.  It is the only control point generator endorsed by Hugin.
Third-party generators may be compatible with the plug-in architecture.


COMPILING

Users compiling from source refer to the dependencies listed at
http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Dependencies

and the build processes listed at
http://wiki.panotools.org/Development_of_Open_Source_tools#Build_your_Own_Test_Builds

More information in the README and INSTALL_cmake files in the tarball.


KNOWN ISSUES AND WORKAROUNDS

Panosphere Overview window seperated from the content
https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin/+bug/726997

There is a known problem building Hugin with CMake 2.8.5rc2.
Workaround: Upgrade to a newer CMake version.

Mac OS X:
- Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) is no longer supported.
- The PPC platform is no longer supported.
- The OpenMP enabled enblend is now compatible on Mac OS X Lion (10.7).
- The cmake compilation of Hugin is currently broken due to the fact that
the boost library on OS X is currently at version 1.50 and boost versions => 1.48
conflict with a number of Mac OS X macros (from AssertMacros.h). This can
not be disabled as WxWindows for Mac (a.k.a. WxMac) needs these macros.
An XCode build, where a specific boost (<=1.46) can be specified, is
possible. The 2012.0 OSX bundle will be based on an XCode build with boost
1.46.

An updated list of issues deemed to be critical, including discussions
and workarounds is in the issue tracker.

RECTIFICATION

Somehow Gmail "cached" the links in my mail. Insted of pointing to the download location of the rc1 it still points to the beta1 download, even though the link itself "reads"  as rc1.

The correct download links are:

Hello Mac users,

 

A bundle of the 2012.0.0_rc1 can be downloaded from Sourceforge and Launchpad

Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2012.0/hugin-mac-2012.0.0_rc1.dmg/download

 

Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/hugin/2012.0/2012.0rc1/+download/hugin-mac-2012.0.0_rc1.dmg

 

To prevent all confusion: This is a 32bit/64bit Intel bundle that will run on OS X as of 10.5. All tools are fully 32/64bit but the Gui is only 32bit as it is compiled against Carbon.

hoi,
Harry

[George R]

Harry,

Would you expect this version to run on Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or has anyone tried it?

I have been holding off upgrading to 10.8 in case it messes up Hugin.

George

PS thanks for all you have done for us Mac Users over the last several years.

[Harry van der Wolf]

Hi George,

 

I can't give any guarantees but according to David Haberthür it does:

Hi George,

how about setting up a second partition (in case you cannot simply add
another HD) for a dual boot system? With that you can take your time to
switch your workflows to a new system while the old working system is
still available.

Carl

Carl,

That's a good plan.

My machine has multiple internal hard discs so I can just make another one of them a start-up disc.
Thanks.

George

[George R]

Thanks Harry!

It should work as long as Python is in your system path. There's the possibility that there's something wrong with the build, but I don't have a 64-bit system to test it on. There will be at least one more release candidate before 2012.0.0 is declared final, so if there is something wrong with that build, it hopefully won't manifest itself again.

How is that preexisting Python installation supposed to be installed?

Neither a global installation of Python 3.2 nor a local one copied to
./bin is recognized by python enabled hugin rc1 on my system..

"run python script" is greyed, no scripts are shown in the menue.

depends.exe applied to hugin.exe doesn't show a dependency on
python32.dll. AFAIR this has changed from beta1, which shows that
dependency.

I tried this with

on Windows 7/64 german

Thanks for pointing out Sysinternals Strings. While I'm familiar with Dependency Walker, it doesn't work on 64-bit executables on a 32-bit system. Strings does work, though. It seems Python didn't link properly; none of the other Python related strings are in the executable either. I built the non-Python version first and then probably failed to rebuild something after enabling Python with CMake. Now that I have a way to check if the 64-bit executable is actually linked to Python, using Strings, I'll be sure to check in the future.

Even with a local Python 3.2 installation including python32.dll on the
path, it doesn't.

Perhaps I can offer some help.  I have all the necessary tools and a
reasonably large system, but failed constructing a working build
environment, starting from the very outdated sdk instructions. There are
just too many dependencies which are far from working out of the box on
Windows. So I gave up early.

Please apply sysinternals strings.exe (or a similar tool) to hugin.exe.
Applied to the  2012.0 beta 1 binary from july, the show the string
"python32.dll" and various external python symbols, Applied to the
actual rc1 binary, the output doesn't show "python32.dll", or any string
related to Python which isn't recogniceable as a UI string mentioning
it.  From the outside, it looks just like a not python enabled build.

If there hasn't been a change from using LoadLibrary and GetProcAdress
with ordinal values, between beta1 and rc1, I guess there has something
failed while linking with the python interface library.
