Hello

I am trying to install Ceres-solver on UBUNTU 18.04. But always I got following feedback related to CMake.

[100%] Built target bundle\_adjuster  
^Cexamples/CMakeFiles/nist.dir/build.make:62: recipe for target ‘examples/CMakeFiles/nist.dir/nist.cc.o’ failed  
make[2]: \*\*\* [examples/CMakeFiles/nist.dir/nist.cc.o] Interrupt  
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:7628: recipe for target ‘examples/CMakeFiles/nist.dir/all’ failed  
make[1]: \*\*\* [examples/CMakeFiles/nist.dir/all] Interrupt  
Makefile:140: recipe for target ‘all’ failed  
make: \*\*\* [all] Interrupt

How to solve?

Thanks.

The “Interrupt” error might come from the compiler trying to use too much RAM and crashing, out of memory. How many cores/CPUs do you have on this machine and how much RAM?

I don’t know much about Raspberry Pi, but maybe it doesn’t have enough resources to build Ceres Solver.

You could look into cross-compiling from a desktop computer (x86\_64) to ARM v8.

Thanks. I will see for a new PC to support such software.
