[Kwiver-users] Problem running maptk_track_features.exe

[Matthew Leotta]

Hossein,

We have just made a new patch release of MAP-Tk, v0.7.2, that should address your issues.  The details are in the release notes here:

https://github.com/Kitware/maptk/releases/tag/v0.7.2 <https://github.com/Kitware/maptk/releases/tag/v0.7.2>

With this release the command line utilities provided by the installer binaries should now be able to load the plugins and have the required dynamic libraries available.  There is a limitation that plugins will only be found if the default install path is used (see release notes for details).  We will address that issue in v0.8.0.

—Matt

I’ve debugged this and found that the search path for plugins is incorrect in the executables and it’s not yet configurable in this release.

In producing the installer packages for v0.7.1 I only tested the GUI application on Windows and not the command line tools.  I should point out that Windows is not my primary development platform and MAP-Tk has been tested less on Windows than other platforms.  That said, we support Windows and want to make it work.

In the mean time, you can avoid problems 2 and 3 by building from source.  You can work around problem 1 by generating a new config file from scratch using the instructions in the README.
