installation failed at last command make -j4

[Edwin-Til-Illan]

Hi, I followed all of the OpenVSlam installation instructions and got a fatal error while running the make -j4 command:

/home/rover/openvslam/src/openvslam/data/bow_vocabulary.h:10:10: fatal error: fbow/vocabulary.h: No such file or directory
   10 | #include <fbow/vocabulary.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

The previous command was:

cmake \
   -DUSE_PANGOLIN_VIEWER=ON \
   -DINSTALL_PANGOLIN_VIEWER=ON \
   -DUSE_SOCKET_PUBLISHER=OFF \
   -DUSE_STACK_TRACE_LOGGER=ON \
   -DBUILD_TESTS=ON \
   -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON \
   ..

And I got:

Any idea why I got this error ?

Make sure you have installed the latest version of FBoW from https://github.com/OpenVSLAM-Community/FBoW.
If you cannot solve the installation problem yourself, it is recommended to use docker.

Hi,
Thank you for fast answering !
I think the problem was installing fbow before cloning the openvslam repository.
I remove all the FBoW files and rebuild it now the openvslam build works great !
Thanks again !
