Hi everyone, 

I have been experiencing some issues while installing COLMAP as a CLI on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04, CUDA 9). here is the message I got when running the cmake:

I tried to figure it out based on the log files, but so far haven't been successful. Has anyone encountered this issue ?

Hello,

looks like an Error with your cuda installation.
Try the Nvidia Tool nvidia-smi in the command line to see information about your cuda

Hi, 

Thanks for your answer. However, I think CUDA is ok, since nvidia-smi returns this

and nvcc returns this:

nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

Any ideas ? I forgot to mention that I tried to install it on a google virtual instance, don't know if this is related

Hello,

@ Johannes:
Is at line 82 a Line like this missing?
list(APPEND CUDA_ALL_GPU_ARCHITECTURES "3.7")

Checkout the latest commit in the dev branch. The error you see is an issue with an old CMake version. The latest commit should be backwards compatible. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Cheers, Johannes

Indeed the problem was with with cmake...

Somehow making a checkout did not help, so I tweaked a bit the .cmake which configures CUDA ; when replacing everywhere VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL with VERSION_GREATER (and adjusting the version number accordingly), the compilation succeeded without any problem and it now seems to run smoothly.

Thanks a lot for all your help !
