Openpose: Ubuntu Cmake-gui error while getting default Caffe

[svarnypetr]

Issue Summary

This should not be a Caffe problem per se, but before I install custom Caffe I would like to make sure. I followed all the steps in the install doc up until using the CMake-gui. There I ran into an error while downloading Caffe.

It seems to me CMake-gui does not download Caffe at all. I tried to wipe everything and try to install OpenPose again, but received the same mistake. I also tried to see if cmake follows the ifs in the CMakeLists.txt correctly and reaches the branches where he establishes that Caffe needs to be downloaded and it seems to me it does so.

CMake-gui returns the following error:

Caffe will be downloaded from source now. NOTE: This process might take several minutes depending
        on your internet connection.
Already on 'master'

M   CMakeLists.txt
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Caffe will be built from source now.

If you were using an old OP version and you just updated it, you should simply re-download or re-clone OpenPose again and re-compile it.

We changed Caffe from being inside OP to be a submodule in GitHub (so it's easier to keep the latest Caffe version, but we found this kind of error when updating OpenPose from an old version).

Let me know if re-downloading it from scratch doesn't fix the issue.

[svarnypetr]

Hello Gines,
thank you for the reply. I tried a totally new install - removed OpenPose, followed the installation guide again from the top (i.e. went through the prerequisites also). Surprisingly it worked although my first clone was a clean install made from the master repo I cloned on Feb 8th. The only changes I made now that I am aware of:

1. cloning the current master repo (should be the same for ubuntu)
2. letting CMake-gui create the /build subfolder

So thank you for pushing me to restart.

[gineshidalgo99]

Thanks for the feed-back!

Had the same issue while compiling for the CPU-ONLY version. Same thing fixed it. Did both clones today. So thanks for the feedback! But this cost me quite some time. I used a fresh install of ubuntu-16.04.4-server-amd64.

I am facing the same issue when compiling in CPU-ONLY mode.

Even when I reclone the openpose repo and start installation from scratch, I get the the same error.

Re-download OpenPose from scratch. If you try to move from Caffe CPU to Caffe GPU, this kind of errors might happen (as we use different Caffe repos for each one).

[ashwinvk94]

Even when I clone the repository and redo the installation process, I get the same error that I have mentioned above.

I have also tried the same with a fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. cmake still shows the same error.

[gineshidalgo99]

Not sure what it could be (I can confirm OpenPose works in a fresh Ubuntu 16). Could you try...

1. OpenPose in a full path without spaces? I.e. I see
   /home/ashwin/center_for_robolution/Intelligent retail store Demonstration/Body detection/

What about:
/home/ashwin/center_for_robolution/Body_detection/

1. Updating CMake.

I fixed this issue by manually clone the caffe repo into the 3rdparty directory:

1. cd 3rdparty
2. git clone https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/caffe.git
3. Now, run cmake gui to Configure and Generate.

@appleweed
works for me, bro, thanks!

[verihelp-viktor]

@appleweed
Thank you, you saved my day!

[jbrownkramer]

I am installing on a Mac and I had this problem. I tried re-cloning the repo and it didn't work. I used the trick @appleweed suggested, which allowed me to make progress.

[soulslicer]

Hmm..i am unable to recreate this error. On my Mac (OSX Yosemite), Cmake automatically downloads / clones caffe. Can someone please do a clean clone and cmake run and paste their cmake output here for me?

[ShuminY]

I re-clone it. and got the same issue. (on Mac).
the 3rdparty/caffe folder is empty after the cloning.
and I followed @appleweed by cloning caffe manually, and the configuring got done on CMake GUI.

[linhtn]

@appleweed Thank bro ^^

[rubenvandeven]

After cloning master, the 3rdparty/caffe folder stayed empty. For me this fix was to manually trigger the git submodules to update. So the clone step becomes:

git clone https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose
cd openpose

git submodule init
git submodle update

Should this be added to the docs?

Thanks @appleweed for pointing me in the right direction.

[MartinFultot]

@appleweed You saved my life, fam.

[jhirsh]

@rubenvandeven After trying a lot, your message was the only one that pushed me forward :)

[gineshidalgo99]

@rubenvandeven Thanks! I will add it to the following commit!

[MiaYangheeKim]

@appleweed You are the best!!! Thank you very much! You saved my day!!! :3

[yuanzhedong]

@appleweed life saver!!

[njuallen]

I think document should mention that, git submodule init/update should be manually triggered.

[yaoolu]

@appleweed
Thanks bro! Saved my day!!

[alon1samuel]

Thanks! I was stuck... :)

@appleweed Thanks you.

[Aakash95-co]

thanks @appleweed your suggestion work for me !

@appleweed Thanks, brother !! Appreciate the help

Works for me. Thanks !!

[tnzl]

@appleweed Thanks brother! I was stuck on it from the last 2 days.

[jumpy88]

I think it should be better clarified, but prerequisites docs provide the solution:
git submodule update --init --recursive --remote

[TGMcLean]

@appleweed 's approach also worked for me, on MacOS.

I would think @jumpy88 's approach should also work.

Hi! I'm using CPU-only OpenPose on Mac
When I try to build on GUI CMAKE it gives these errors:
Caffe_LIBRARIES-NOTFOUND
Caffe_LIBS-NOTFOUND

Please help!

Probably do not post to a closed topic. But also, did you install Caffe?
