I´m having issues installing colmap on two different Macs.
One is a MacBook Pro 13 inches, mid-2010, GeForce 320M the other an iMac retina 5K, end 2015, Radeon R9 M395X
Both have macOS Sierra (10.12.4) & Xcode 8.3.1

I´ve run the instructions fpr Mac as in https://colmap.github.io/install.html without getting any significant errors, but I can´t find any app to run at the end (BTW, Mac instructions seem to lack a "cd build" as in the linux counterpart)
I went as far as removing brew, fink and macports completely first, to no avail.

After the last "make -j" step ends I just get:
(...)
[100%] Linking CXX executable cost_functions_test
[100%] Built target cost_functions_test
And the prompt

Searched for files with "colmap" in their name but the app is nowhere to be seen.

I found a "build_mac_app.sh" in  "/Users/gerardo/colmap/scripts/shell" but running it from the shell just creates an 0 bytes app

Am I missing anything? Any error log to check or any other step that might be blatantly obvious except for a newbie like me?

Thanks

The built binaries will be in `colmap/build/src/exe`. To start the GUI, just cd to the build folder and execute ./src/exe/colmap - you don't have to use the build_mac_app.sh script. Alternatively, you can install COLMAP to /usr/local by executing make install.

Does this help?

I cannot get past the Homebrew dependencies part of the install instructions
