Orb_slam2: unable to build ORB_SLAM2 due to Pangolin

[chaiein]

make[2]: ** No rule to make target ../Pangolin/build/src/libpangolin.so', needed by../lib/libORB_SLAM2.so'. Stop.
make[1]: ** [CMakeFiles/ORB_SLAM2.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

is any way to resolve the above error?

[tdnet12434]

try to edit CMakeList.txt

from
find_package(Pangolin REQUIRED)
to
find_package(Pangolin 0.2 REQUIRED)

[chaiein]

I tried your suggestion but still the error is not cleared. Its showing the same error.

[amiltonwong]

Did u run command:
cmake -DCPP11_NO_BOOST=1 ..

And what is the output? Any error appears?

[chaiein]

Thank you for the solution. I used ./build.sh
Then cmake -DCPP11_NO_BOOST=1 .. its successfully built
but later on make there is following error

It seems you still couldn't compile Pangolin successfully.

I had tried the following commands with no failure.

git clone https://github.com/stevenlovegrove/Pangolin.git
cd Pangolin
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCPP11_NO_BOOST=1 ..
make -j

Hello everyone,

I have somehow the same problem. I'd like to run ORB-SLAM2 on Linux OS (Ubuntu 16.06 Xenial) with CPU intel Corei7 , 2.2 GHZ and I have tried to install the prerequisities, which were written in the README.md file on github.com. But the problem is I have faced several errors during building ORB_SLAM2 and compiling ORB_SLAM2 Examples for mono_tum.cc and mono_kitti.cc. It would be so kind if you can help me in this way because the type of error is somehow the same as above but I have built Pangolin successfully.

Hi everyone! I met the same problem as @chaiein . Did you clone the Pangolin into your system for many times and i did, so I reserve only one piece and delete rest of them. Then, compile it like following:
git clone https://github.com/stevenlovegrove/Pangolin.git
cd Pangolin
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCPP11_NO_BOOST=1 ..
make -j1
Then,
cd ORB_SLAM2
chmod +x build.sh
./build.sh
wish it could be helpful

[chaiein]

I solved this problem after I got virtual and operating system reinstalled. I again used the ORB_SLAM2 freshely it worked with out any problem.

Edit the Pangolin openni.cpp files removed the code related to openni. This will also help in successful building of the Pangolin
