When I added -n 2, it only consumed about 4 GB. I'd like to be able to use at least -n 4 (there probably isn't a lot of benefit to going beyond that). >> > So far there hasn't been much echo from people actually using hsi/hpi >> > - it's in the source, but I think it hasn't really trickled down to >> > the binary distros. >> >> Some of it may be due to SWIG 2; I think a fair number of >> distributions still use 1.3. > > I had to deliberately get swig 2.X as well, but it's needed because > only 2.X can handle the complexity of the wrapped C++ code competently > (it's really impressive how the objects, their members and methods are > transported to python and feel there like native python objects - even > stuff like STL container classes), and I built it from source (which > was a snap).

Agreed -- until distributions ship swig 2.x, they obviously aren't going to ship the plugin interface. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
