I wasn't aware that the hugin project builds a nightly binary.

I have just built the latest default branch source (for Fedora) and
pto_gen is included.
I suspect there is an error in the way the ppa is being built.
Probably best to see if you can contact those responsible for the build.
From where do you get your ppa ?

A must-have for Hugin users running Ubuntu (if they don't want to build themselves):

https://launchpad.net/~hugin

There's a ppa with releases, one with upcoming releases (e.g. release candidates), and one with nightly builds.

From the Hugin download page there's a link to the wiki where enabeling the ppa in your system is explained.

Thanks for educating me, I didn't know that.
Is the missing pto_gen now fixed?

No, and it probably will take some time to do so because the nightly
build depends on the yet unreleased libpano13-2.9.19 which fails to
build due to failing tests.

Your best chance to get the latest stable hugin version (2013.0 beta1)
for Ubuntu would be the "next Hugin builds" from the launchpad at
https://launchpad.net/~hugin/+archive/next


For Debian, a 2013.0 beta1 version van be found in the experimental
distribution, see
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/hugin

You may find 2013.0 beta1 packages for other distributions mentioned at
http://www.mail-archive.com/hugi...@googlegroups.com/msg19725.html


With kind regards

I'm not sure these tests are relevant, they have never worked for me.
They should be disabled if nobody is working on fixing them.

We are successfully running the testsuite on Debian (2.9.18), the only
relevant patch we are using is
<http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-phototools/libpano.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/20_initfilenameargs.diff;h=cd9bf161e96fcd2f42b009fce91a51c248c268d7;hb=libpano13/unstable>

I know, as usual I used the Debian 2.9.18 as a base for 2.9.19.

However, at least when compiled under raring, the tests now fail.
I'd be inclined to drop them if I didn't find that under x86_64, even
the simpleStitch tests fail. There seems to be a problem in PTmender
under x86_64:
libpano.tst/tests/simpleStitch$ ../../tools/PTmender -o output temp.txt
PTmender Version 2.9.19 , originally written by Helmut Dersch, rewritten
by Daniel German
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

However, when I build PTMender with -g, the tests pass.

Currently, I don't have the time to investigate this any further (and no
clue on where to start).

Hello,
That is strange, I have just doublechecked, testsuite succeeds here on
Debian/unstable both ix86 and am64 with both gcc-4.7 and gcc-4.8.

> However, when I build PTMender with -g, the tests pass.

Doublestrange, afaik adding -g should not change the outcome. (unlike
-O0 /- O2) - Also the standard Ubuntu/Debian build uses -g.

Does this patch need to be pushed to the libpano13 HG repo?
