Version compatibility issue between colmap and glog

[entronad]

Currently, colmap 3.11.1 is only compatible with glog 0.6.0, not the latest version 0.7.1, due to a change in the signature of a send function.
For those looking to compile and install on Linux, a feasible combination of versions is: colmap 3.11.1, glog 0.6.0, and ceres-solver 2.2.0.
I hope this experience can assist those who wish to use colmap with CUDA on Linux.

Hi, can you please provide me with more details, on how exactly to do it?
I have tried to install Colmap from snap (it should be an older version, but I guess it doesn't support CUDA - even though it is written "+CUDA" in the Colmap description when I tried to run convert.py, it gave me error

E0106 21:40:11.068116 1138949 cudacc.cc:59] CUDA error at /build/colmap/parts/colmap/src/src/colmap/util/cuda.cc:57 - OS call failed or operation not supported on this OS
ERROR:root:Feature extraction failed with code 256. Exiting.

And when I tried to install Colmap to my Ubuntu 24.04 and build from source (according to the official guide), I always get some mismatch or mistake...

Installing COLMAP is a tough journey. Depending on your Ubuntu version and CUDA version, there are different pitfalls. A large number of articles online suggest that COLMAP and glog version mismatches are common issues that need to be addressed. Therefore, I am sharing my attempts here.

My Ubuntu version is 20, so I cannot help you solve this problem. I completed it with the help of Sonnet 3.5, and I also suggest that you send the error messages to him for a solution.

I have managed to install the proper version of Colmap and now the script works.
Just for the future users on Ubuntu 24.04 this helped to install Colmap properly.
