Instructions (tested for Ubuntu 14.04)

clone source using
git clone https://github.com/opengm/opengm.git

make build dir under opengm/

makedir build/

and enter build/

cd build/

using ccmake and try to configure with ‘c’

ccmake ../

run ccmake again and select options

ccmake ../

build:

• command line ?
• converter ?
• docs ?
• examples ? (requires external lib like cplex)
• python docs ? (requires pip install sphinx and produces ugly outputs)
• python wrapper
• testing
• tutorials

with:

• boost
• hdf5

python:

• python exectuable: /home/USER/.virtualenvs/VNAME/bin
• include dir: /home/USER/.virtualenvs/VNAME/include
• include dir2: /home/USER/.virtualenvs/VNAME/include/python2.7
• library: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so (alternative is /home/USER/.virtualenvs/VNAME/lib/python2.7, but no *.so file here)
• library debug: PYTHON_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND (default)
• numpy include directory: /home/USER/.virtualenvs/VNAME/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include

for some unkown reason opengm python site-package is installed under /usr/local/lib/python0./ therefore, better to skip make install and simply copy files by hand (see below)

To build run (-j only if multicore system):

make -j4
make -j2 test
make install

simply copy it to /home/USER/.virtualenvs/VNAME/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

now test in python: import opengm

Hopefully things work :)
