CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:368 (install): install TARGETS given target "colmap_controllers" which does not exist in this directory.

Describe the bug I'm trying to build from source with GPU support using the guide: https://colmap.github.io/install.html#library but got the error as shown in the title of this report. I searched previous reports and cannot find a similar error.

Environment:

• OS: [Ubuntu 18.04]

After installing dependencies, the next step was to Configure and compile COLMAP. The current step is to run cmake:

git clone https://github.com/colmap/colmap.git cd colmap mkdir build cd build cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="/home/anicetusodo/anaconda3/envs/colmap" .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=75 -- Enabling LSD support -- Boost found. -- Found Boost components: filesystem;graph;program_options;system -- Found FreeImage -- Includes : /usr/include -- Libraries : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreeimage.so -- Found FLANN -- Includes : /usr/include -- Libraries : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libflann.so -- Found LZ4 -- Includes : /usr/include -- Libraries : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblz4.so -- Found Metis -- Includes : /usr/include -- Libraries : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmetis.so -- Found Glog -- Target : glog::glog -- Found Glew -- Includes : /usr/include -- Libraries : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLEW.so -- Found installed version of Eigen: /usr/lib/cmake/eigen3 -- Found required Ceres dependency: Eigen version 3.3.4 in /usr/include/eigen3 -- Found required Ceres dependency: glog -- Found installed version of gflags: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/gflags -- Detected gflags version: 2.2.1 -- Found required Ceres dependency: gflags -- Found Ceres version: 1.13.0 installed in: /usr with components: [LAPACK, SuiteSparse, SparseLinearAlgebraLibrary, CXSparse, SchurSpecializations, OpenMP] -- Enabling OpenMP support -- Found CGAL -- Includes : /usr//include -- Libraries : /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libCGAL.so.13.0.1 -- Found CUDA version 10.2 installed in /usr/local/cuda-10.2 via legacy CMake (<3.17) module.

Please, any idea what this CMake Error is about?

1. Rename anaconda3 folder:

mv anaconda3 anaconda3_

2. Close the current terminal, then open a new one, and run cmake again. Once successfully built.

3. Change the anaconda3 folder name back to the original.

Successfully built COLMAP with GPU support.

In place of my conda environment, I created a new virtualenv like below and repeated the installation and outlined in the guide: https://colmap.github.io/install.html

• virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3.8 colmap_env

• source colmap_env/bin/activate

• Installed dependencies: sudo apt-get install
  git
  cmake
  ninja-build
  build-essential
  libboost-program-options-dev
  libboost-filesystem-dev
  libboost-graph-dev
  libboost-system-dev
  libeigen3-dev
  libflann-dev
  libfreeimage-dev
  libmetis-dev
  libgoogle-glog-dev
  libgtest-dev
  libsqlite3-dev
  libglew-dev
  qtbase5-dev
  libqt5opengl5-dev
  libcgal-dev
  libceres-dev

I use Ubuntu 18.04 and the guide recommends to install the CGAL Qt5 package:

sudo apt-get install libcgal-qt5-dev

-Next, I cloned the colmap repo and run cmake as shown below:

git clone https://github.com/colmap/colmap.git cd colmap mkdir build cd build cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=native -Wno-dev ninja sudo ninja install

Completed Successfully.

I hope someone finds this useful. Thanks

Inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34443128/cmake-install-targets-in-subdirectories, I have solved this problem by updating the cmake from 3.11.4 to 3.14.7. I hope this useful.
