Face recognition - installing missing libraries

šŸ± Features & apps
1

I would like to use the face recognition app but I canā€™t due to missing library.
My nextcloud is installed on Ubuntu. how do I install the missing libraries?

  • This app cannot be installed because the following dependencies are not fulfilled:
    • The library pdlib is not available.
    • The library bz2 is not available.

The missing libs are probably dlib and pdlib.

You can find a manual installation here:

Just follow these two instructions:

Install Dlib as shared library

git clone (copy this link) GitHub - davisking/dlib: A toolkit for making real world machine learning and data analysis applications in C++
cd dlib/dlib
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ā€¦
make
sudo make install

and

git clone (copy this link) GitHub - goodspb/pdlib: PHP extension for Dlib.
cd pdlib
phpize
./configure --enable-debug
# you may need to indicate the dlib install location
# PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --enable-debug
make
sudo make install

after that, the facerecognition should be installable in the app store.

there are also precompiled libs available for some ubuntu and other linux versions:

you might check these instructions here, if your dlib andpdlib are not compiled or installed correctly:

i have tried what you posted and looked at your links. i keep getting an error make: *** [Makefile:208: pdlib.lo] Error 1
at the last step

4

Did you try to install precompiled libs for Ubuntu also?

5

yes i have. this is the complete error. ~/pdlib$ make
/bin/bash /home/josh/pdlib/libtool --mode=compile g++ -I. -I/home/josh/pdlib -I/home/josh/pdlib/include -I/home/josh/pdlib/main -I/home/josh/pdlib -I/usr/include/php/20210902 -I/usr/include/php/20210902/main -I/usr/include/php/20210902/TSRM -I/usr/include/php/20210902/Zend -I/usr/include/php/20210902/ext -I/usr/include/php/20210902/ext/date/lib -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DZEND_ENABLE_STATIC_TSRMLS_CACHE=1 -std=c++11 -DZEND_COMPILE_DL_EXT=1 -c /home/josh/pdlib/pdlib.cc -o pdlib.lo -MMD -MF pdlib.dep -MT pdlib.lo
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: error: specify a tag with ā€˜ā€“tagā€™
make: *** [Makefile:208: pdlib.lo] Error 1
i think this is because i need to use -std=c++14 but its trying to compile with c++11 and i dont know how to change it

yes, i had the same problem. patch it like this:

ok i got the pdlibs compiled and installed correctly. thank you for your help.

now i ran the test and its saying my php-bz2 is not installed. do i have to configure it or add it to something?

sudo apt install php-bz2

That should be all :slight_smile:

Iā€™ve got the PDlib compiled and passing, but have the issue running php-bz2. I am running nginx with Postgres, and PHP 8.1. It appears that the bz2 needs to be compiled to the specific PHP version. The nginx uses php-fpm, but donā€™t know whether that is relevant or not. The compile of PDlib went flawlessly and I got the tests passing:

Iā€™ll post more from the test results after I ensure that the text doesnā€™t contain IPs, etc.

Here, too, finally got the Face Recognition to install. bz2 was found earlier within the Wiki.

Tried locating sources, but found this faster.

Thanks for the prior info from your endeavors to get this done. Trying to get facial recoginition with a family server. Hard to get the siblings on board and this could be it.
