Opentrack

[dom_vc10]

Hi

I am pretty new to compiling/building applications on linux and have avoided it quite a bit but now I am trying to push myself. I have made a three point LED clip and modified a webcam with a filter.I used this with facetracknoir on windows and FS9 without issue. Now that I have been slowly getting into FG on Linux I want to use it again so am trying to get opentrack 2.3 installed. I have everything downloaded started to try and build and get this error..

Is there anyone else out here using opentrack on linux who could give me a nudge in the right direction please?

Hi,

with a short skim through the documentation I found no apparent build instructions for linux. But since it obviously uses cmake, it should build using cmake and gcc on linux... What is the specific workflow you used up to this point?

Cheers,
Daniel

I suppose you run:

Code: Select all

1) ccmake ..
2) cmake .
3) make -j5

The first step is important to find any missing libraries. I had no problem compiling the "unstable" branch.

I built a Debian package here:https://github.com/opentrack/opentrack/wiki/Debian-testing-amd64-package

[dom_vc10]

Thanks

I was downloading the source to one folder then created a folder for opentrack so ran

Code: Select all

cmake -S /home/dom/opentracksource -B /home/dom/opentrack

Then I was going to the opentrack directory and the

make

I will try the steps you have put here massima instead I guess mine are not right.

On a side note I had already found your deb file but ran into issues with dependencies it seems it needs some from a newer repository than linux mint 19 is using and I can't install them. I'm avoiding upgrading for now to 20 as I do not have time to start a new system

[massima]

Sad to hear that my package has dependency issues. I cannot find on the web a guide whom i followed, it can be summed up so:

1- create a built folder in your source code folder and enter in that folder;
2- launch "ccmake .." it will tell about missing deps. install any missing deps, empty the build folder and re-launch "ccmake ..";
3- press "c" to continue and then "t";
4- configure single voices if needed;
5- press "g";
6- launch "cmake .";
7- launch "make -j5";
8- launch "make install".

It should work it you install all devs stuff

Hi

Thanks for the help. Trying now got a bit stuck but realised i needed to press c to configure. So looking better now
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE *RELEASE
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX */home/dom/opentrack/build/install
Eigen3_DIR *Eigen3_DIR-NOTFOUND
OpenCV_DIR *OpenCV_DIR-NOTFOUND

SDK_HYDRA *
SDK_REALSENSE *
SDK_VALVE_STEAMVR *
SDK_WINE *OFF
SDK_XPLANE *
opentrack_variant *default

So if I understand right I just need to install the dependencies where it's saying not found?

[dom_vc10]

hmm
getting there only stuck with
igen3_DIR *Eigen3_DIR-NOTFOUND

I installed igen3 from synaptic but cmake still says it cannot find the directory

[dom_vc10]

ok manually set the path to igen3
performed nest steps
5- press "g";
6- launch "cmake .";
7- launch "make -j5";
8- launch "make install"

No every stage completed to 100%

now how do I open opentrack if i type opentrack in the command line its says "command not found"..

[wkitty42]

if stages failed to reach 100%, you have problems left to solve before the binary can be built...

[dom_vc10]

That was a typo it was supposed to say now every stage completes 100%.

Each step seemed to go through fine.

[massima]

If the the compiling process reach 100%, binaries are located in the folder you have chosen "/home/dom/opentrack/build/install".
So enter in that folder, I remember there is a "bin", or "binary" folder and from a terminal type: ". /opentrack".

I see you are missing the Qt5SerialPort and OpenCV dev packages, without them you won't get several input plug-ins like easy tracker, point tracker, hatire etc.. Install them

[dom_vc10]

I managed to get the missing packages

I will check the bin folder and give it a try.

Thanks for all help so far. Hopefully all running soon

[dom_vc10]

ok it opens!!!

getting a library load failure at start up

DEBUG [/home/dom/opentrack/logic/runtime-libraries.cpp:25]: protocol dylib load failure

So I guess I need to delve into figuring out what is missing but I have learnt a lot thank you!!

[massima]

Good to hear your success!!!

I never got that library load error, anyway check that in the input field you have: Point tracker 1.1 and/or Easy Tracker 1.0. I read above you have an IR cap and you need them to use it.

[dom_vc10]

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!

It's working! I deleted the build directory and rebuilt. All opened ok but what I didn't do last time was actually select the sim in the gui I just hit start to test, whether this was an issue or there was an issue in the build I am not sure but it's working.

Next step getting it enabled in flightgear, the setting in flightgear asks for an IP and port is that for my machine running FG or some IP that FG uses to integrate?
