Build errors on Windows

[Girihanbudi]

Hi, I want to build to windows but I got an error in building.

Here's the log :

[Mmmelvil]

Same error here

[fabianschenk]

Hi @Mmmelvil @Girihanbudi ,

This seems like a Ceres problem. Please, update to the newest version of ceres and try again.

Best

[keshav64]

Same Error Here.. Is the issue resolved @Mmmelvil @Girihanbudi could you please help @fabianschenk

[fabianschenk]

Hi @keshav64 , I can't really help since I don't have a Windows machine. I committed a PR #872 today that dealt with cmake and Eigen, ceres, etc. so this might help you.

[yuanyue]

Same Error Here. Can someone let me know if there is a solution please？

[chz31]

I also got the same issue. The ceres version appears to be the latest (2.1.0).

[edgarriba]

getting the same compilation error with latest versions ceres. Fixed using the one form dockefile 1.14.0
