Hugin SDK (MSVC 2008)

Hugin depends on different components like libraries and tools, which are not available on a common Windows system. All these components can be combined to a Hugin Software Developmant Kit (SDK). This article gives step-by-step instructions to build such SDK for Hugin using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 (MSVC 2008) Express Edition and precompiled dependencies.

While this article is designed for developing a native 32-bit version, adidtional instructions are provided so that a 64-bit version of the Hugin SDK can be compiled. When appropriate, steps that only apply to the 32-bit or 64-bit versions will be noted as (32-bit) or (64-bit), and you can safely ignore them if you are not targeting that particular version. In order to compile a 64-bit version of the Hugin SDK, one does not need a 64-bit computer. However, if they wish to test or debug the binaries, or for some projects (such as OpenEXR) which execute compiled binaries as part of their build step, this will not necessarily be possible on Win32.

First of all an overview is given over the contents of the SDK and the tools that are necessary to build the SDK.

The build steps for each component are written like a walkthrough and annotated on the end of each section.

Maybe some of the described tools and packages, especially those fetched from Subversion (SVN) repository, will change over time and/or become obsolete. Hence it is likely that some steps will become invalid or won't work any more.

The SDK is structured, that each component resides in its own subdirectory. This approach is different to other platforms like Linux, where some common directories are available to store include files, libraries and applications. The files of a component are spread over all these directories. Both approaches to structure the files in a file system have its assets and drawbacks.

The base directory of the SDK is denoted as <SDKHOME> in this article. Replace <SDKHOME> by directory name where you store the SDK on your system. In the examples <SDKHOME> is replaced by the directory name D:\usr\src\SDK.

Prerequisites

To build the SDK some tools are required that are listed in the table below. Download the tools and install them. The destination directory of each tool is arbitrary. If you are uncertain, choose the default given in the setup dialog of each tool.

In the following subsections each component is discussed in detail. The order of the subsections seems random, but I applied the approach to describe the precompiled packages first, followed by the big packages, where some of the small packages depend on.

The decompress step of each component contains seemingly inconsistent namings of destination directories, because in some components a subdirectory is specified as destination directory and in some steps only the base directory. This is due to the fact that some package archives contain a base directory and some not. To check the right locations each result section of every component's description contains a summary of the expected files.

Diff Files

In order to make compilation simple, a series of patch files are included below that contain all the necessary changes, not only to compile the SDK, but to optionally compile an x64 version of the SDK. When directed, you will need to apply the patch file specified. If you are compiling for x64, there may be additional patches you need to apply.

The download link for the patches is https://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=77506&atid=550443&file_id=326306&aid=2789320

In order to apply a patch, you will first have needed to follow directions for the UnxUtils step. You cannot apply any patches before that step. To apply a patch, follow these directions:

1. Start a Command Prompt by choosing Start -> Run and typing in "cmd.exe"
2. On the Command Prompt, change directory to <SDKHOME>
   Example

   C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Windows SDK\v6.1>d:
   
   D:>cd \usr\src\SDK
   
   D:\usr\src\SDK>
   

3. On the command prompt, enter the following commands without any line breaks and press the Return/Enter key, substituting <SDKHOME> where appropriate:
   

   set PATH=%PATH%;<SDKHOME>\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin
   

4. On the command prompt, enter the following commands without any line breaks and press the Return/Enter key, substituting <PATCHFILE> with the name of the patch file to apply:
   

   patch -p 0 -i <PATCHFILE>
   

   NOTE: On Vista and later systems, the filename "patch.exe" is a protected file name which will always result in a UAC prompt if the file does not include a manifest (which UnxUtils version does not). This can be worked around by copying the file <SDKHOME>\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\patch.exe to another file not containing the name, such as <SDKHOME>\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin\apply_diff.exe. Then substitute the command 'patch' in the above command with 'apply_diff'

Result

If everything worked, you should see a list of filenames that were patched. If there was an error, you may wish to consult the Hugin SDK (MSVC 2008) Patches page for instructions on what changes were contained in the patch.

UnxUtils

1. Create the directory <SDKHOME>\UnxUtils
2. Decompress the file UnxUtils.zip to created directory <SDKHOME>\UnxUtils

Result

The applications reside in <SDKHOME>\UnxUtils\bin and <SDKHOME>\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin

ExifTool

1. Create the directory <SDKHOME>\exiftool
2. Decompress the file exiftool-7.74.zip to <SDKHOME>\exiftool

3. Apply the libiconv-1.9.1.diff patch
4. Apply the gettext-0.13.1.diff patch
5. Open a Windows SDK prompt by choosing Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Windows SDK v6.1 -> CMD Shell
6. On the command prompt, enter the following command without any line breaks and press the Return/Enter key:
   

   setenv /Release /x64 /xp
   

   It should now refresh and say

   Setting SDK environment relative to <path where you installed the SDK>
   Targeting Windows XP x64 RELEASE
   

7. On the command prompt, change directory to <SDKHOME>\libiconv-1.9.1
   Example

   C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Windows SDK\v6.1>d:
   
   D:>cd \usr\src\SDK\libiconv-1.9.1
   
   D:\usr\src\SDK\libiconv-1.9.1>
   

8. On the command prompt, enter the following commands without any line breaks and press the Return/Enter key, substituting <SDKHOME> where appropriate:
   

   1. nmake -f Makefile.msvc NO_NLS=1 MFLAGS=-MT
      

   2. nmake -f Makefile.msvc NO_NLS=1 MFLAGS=-MT install PREFIX=<SDKHOME>\gettext
      

   3. cd ..\gettext-0.13.1
      

   4. nmake -f Makefile.msvc MFLAGS=-MT PREFIX=<SDKHOME>\gettext

   Example

   Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
   (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
   
   C:\Dokuments and Settings\Guido>d:
   
   D:\>cd \usr\src\SDK\boost_1_39_0
   
   D:\usr\src\SDK\boost_1_39_0>
   

5. Enter the following command without line breaks and press Return key
   32-bit only

   bjam --with-date_time --with-thread toolset=msvc variant=debug variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static stage
   

   After bjam.exe finished a statement like the following should be printed in the command prompt window

   ...updated 56 targets...
   
   d:\usr\src\SDK\boost_1_39_0>
   

   64-bit only

   bjam --with-date_time --with-thread toolset=msvc variant=debug variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static address-model=64 stage
   

   After bjam.exe finished a statement like the following should be printed in the command prompt window

   ...updated 26 targets...
   

6. Close the Windows command prompt window

Result

The include files reside in <SDKHOME>\boost_1_39_0 and its subdirectory boost

The libraries reside in <SDKHOME>\boost_1_39_0\stage\lib

Notes

During build process temporary files are generated in <SDKHOME>\boost_1_39_0\bin.v2. This directory may be deleted to save disk space. Hugin needs only the two Boost libraries date_time and thread, thus only these two libraries have to be built. If you want to build all Boost libraries enter following command on the Windows command prompt instead of the command described above and press Return key. bjam -–build-type=complete toolset=msvc stage There are about 7GB disc space needed during build of all libraries (3.5GB for libraries and the same amount for the temporary files). The Boost include files are typically included by a statement like #include "boost/whatever.hpp" Therefore the base directory of the Boost include files is <SDKHOME>\boost_1_39_0 Only the following libraries are needed to build a release version of Hugin: libboost_date_time-vc90-mt-s-1_39.lib libboost_thread-vc90-mt-s-1_39.lib The files with "gd" in the filename, e.g. libboost_thread-vc90-mt-sgd-1_39.lib, are the debug libraries. The library files without "-1_39" suffix are automatically generated copies of the libraries with version suffix. They are used by CMake to detect the library directory.

Panorama Tools

Panorama Tools depends on following SDK component:

• wxWidgets

Prepare this component before Panoroma Tools.

1. Set two windows environment variables:
   • Set variable WXWIDGETS_HOME to wxWidgets base folder <SDKHOME>\wxWidgets-2.8.10
   • Set variable JDK_HOME to Java SE Development Kit's destination directory name. This directory name was shown during the setup, e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13

   To take effect on changes of environment variables you may have to logout and login.

2. Create the directory <SDKHOME>\libpano\pano13
3. In explorer right-click on created directory <SDKHOME>\libpano\pano13
, and then choose SVN Checkout from the shortcut menu. The Checkout dialog appears.
4. In "URL of repository" field enter following address:

   https://panotools.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/panotools/trunk/libpano
   

5. Click OK
6. After checkout has finished click OK
7. Apply the libpano.diff patch Hugin SDK (MSVC 2008) Patches#Panorama Tools
8. Open solution file <SDKHOME>\libpano\pano13\libpano.sln
9. Select your platform in the Solution Platform pull-down menu
10. Select "Debug LIB CMD" in Solution Configuration pull-down menu
11. Select project pano13 in Solution Explorer, and then choose Build > Project Only > Build Only pano13
12. Select "Release LIB CMD" in Solution Configuration pull-down menu, and then choose Build > Build Solution
13. Close Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

Result

The applications reside in <SDKHOME>\libpano\pano13\tools\Release

The include files reside in <SDKHOME>\libpano\pano13

The libraries reside in "<SDKHOME>\libpano\pano13\Debug LIB CMD" and "<SDKHOME>\libpano\pano13\Release LIB CMD"

Note
The applications have to be built in release version only. Therefore only pano13 library has to be built in Debug configuration.

libxml2

1. Decompress the file libxml2-sources-2.7.3.tar.gz to directory <SDKHOME>
2. (32-bit)
   1. To open a Visual Studio command prompt choose Start > Programs > Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition > Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt
3. (64-bit)
   1. Open a Windows SDK prompt by choosing Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Windows SDK v6.1 -> CMD Shell
   2. On the command prompt, enter the following command without any line breaks and press the Return/Enter key:
      

      setenv /Release /x64 /xp
      

      It should now refresh and say

      Setting SDK environment relative to <path where you installed the SDK>
      Targeting Windows XP x64 RELEASE
      

4. On command prompt change directory to <SDKHOME>\libxml2-2.7.3\win32
   Example

   Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x86 tools.
   
   C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC>d:
   
   D:\>cd \usr\src\SDK\libxml2-2.7.3\win32 
   
   D:\usr\src\SDK\libxml2-2.7.3\win32>
   

   Enter each of the following two commands without any line break and press the Return key.

5. cscript configure.js ftp=no http=no iconv=no cruntime=/MT
   

6. nmake -f makefile.msvc libxmla
   
   

Result

The include files reside in <SDKHOME>\libxml2-2.7.3\include

The libraries reside in <SDKHOME>\libxml2-2.7.3\win32\bin.msvc

Notes
During build process temporary object files are generated in directory <SDKHOME>\libxml2-2.7.3\win32\int.a.msvc. This directories may be deleted to save disc space. Hugin does not depend on libxml2 library, but autopano-sift-C. Therefore it is included in this SDK.

autopano-sift-C

Autopano-SIFT-C depends on following SDK components:

• libxml2
• Panorama Tool's pano13 library
• wxWidgets

Prepare these components before Autopano-SIFT-C.

1. Create the directory <SDKHOME>\autopano-sift-C-trunk
2. In explorer right-click on created directory <SDKHOME>\autopano-sift-C-trunk, and then choose SVN Checkout from the shortcut menu. The Checkout dialog appears.
3. In "URL of repository" field enter following address:

   https://hugin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/hugin/autopano-sift-C/trunk

5. After checkout has finished click OK
6. Start CMake (cmake-gui). The CMake dialog appears.
7. In "Where is the source code" field enter

   <SDKHOME>\autopano-sift-C-trunk
   

   Alternatively click Browse Source to point to this directory
8. In "Where to build the binaries" field enter

   <SDKHOME>\autopano-sift-C
   

9. Click Configure
   If a dialog appears, which asks to create the build directoy, click Yes.
   A dialog appears, where you can specify the generator for the project.
