Pycolmap installation ERror #23
Description
I have successfully installed COLAMP
COLMAP 3.12.0.dev0 -- Structure-from-Motion and Multi-View Stereo
(Commit 9a278671 on 2025-04-24 with CUDA)
However, pycolmap installation has been really hard to crack.
cd /root/colmap && python -m pip install . Breaks with the following error:
