Error cmake OpenEXR Ubuntu 18.04 version 50.0

[informatter]

Hi,

I am attempting to build the develop branch because it has a feature that I currently need: computeNewCoordinateSystemFromGpsData in alignment.cpp

Unfortunately, I am not getting past cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . ../AliceVision I always get the following error:

CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:293 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindOpenEXR.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "OpenEXR", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OpenEXR" with any
  of the following names:

    OpenEXRConfig.cmake
    openexr-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "OpenEXR" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "OpenEXR_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "OpenEXR" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

I am attempting to compile Alice Vision on Ubuntu 18.04 v50.0

These are the steps I have followed :

1. sudo apt-get install libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev libxxf86vm1 libxxf86vm-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev
2. sudo apt install libopenexr-dev after reading https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision/issues/889
3. git clone --recursive -b develop --single-branch https://github.com/alicevision/AliceVision.git
4. mkdir build && cd build
5. cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . ../AliceVision

I have also ran sudo apt list --installed | grep openexr to make sure openexr is installed, and it is:

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

libopenexr-dev/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.9 amd64 [installed]
libopenexr22/bionic-updates,bionic-security,now 2.2.0-11.1ubuntu1.9 amd64 [installed,automatic]

Any help will be much appreciated, I am also curious to know when is the next release planned for?

Thank you for your time.

Hi. Would you be comfortable with using docker to do the build of alicevision dependencies?

you don't have openexr/ceres, etc installed which is causing this issue with you.

The docker scripts will help you build alicevision.
