I want to build OpenFace library in my project, but facing some issues.

What I have done:

  • I have cloned OpenFace library from github and put into jhbuild.

  • I have created openface.moduleset file to build the library in my project, but OpenFace don't have a CMakeLists.txt file. So I'm unable to understand what I have to write in .moduleset file to build OpenFace library.

  • I have built OpenFace library using sudo apt-get, followed all command they provide in thair website, built without jhbuild, but using jhbuild I am stuck how can i do it :(.

Problem:

  • In OpenFace library there is no cmake file.
  • I have made a .moduleset file, but how to build OpenFace if the library doesn't provide cmake support, so how can I do it using sudo apt with jhbuild.
  • What I have to write in .moduleset file to build library in project using jhbuild?

Please help !!

  • Your question is very specific. It might be your problem, but it will not help anybody beside you. And there is not specific question, we would need to follow your steps and write the code for you. That's not how SO works. – usr1234567 Nov 30 '16 at 21:14
  • @usr1234567 - You are right but what is the solution of openface library dosn't having cmake file so how can i build that library using jhbuild, please provide any idea, I need to do it any how so and i am not asking that follow my steps and give me solution but i just ask, Is there any way to build library without cmake using jhbuild? thanks for the comment. – Dhvanish Thakkar Dec 01 '16 at 07:01

I assume you are talking about this OpenFace library: http://cmusatyalab.github.io/openface/

If so, then it is a Python library, built/installed with Distutils.

That's why you can't find a CMakeLists.txt file: OpenFace does not use CMake to build.

Fortunately, JHBuild is not tied to CMake at all, and it supports Distutils just fine:

https://developer.gnome.org/jhbuild/stable/moduleset-syntax.html.en#moduleset-syntax-defs-distutils

So you would just add something like this to your moduleset file:

<moduleset>
  ...

  <repository type="tarball" name="tarball.github.com" href="https://github.com/" />

  ...

  <distutils id="OpenFace">
    <branch repo="tarball.github.com"
            module="cmusatyalab/openface/archive/{version}.tar.gz"
            version="0.2.1"
            hash="sha256:ee7bfbd16a00aec05636db5c5a38b45b7cc2a3a421860ad8c4dbc99842892942"
            checkoutdir="openface-${version}">
    </branch>
    <dependencies>
      ...
    </dependencies>
  </distutils>

  ...
</moduleset>
