Description
I cloned the repository code:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mapillary/OpenSfM
And installed the required dependencies. However, I encountered issues with missing files during the build process:
-
Missing
src/third/gtest
The entire library file was not downloaded. -
Missing
src/testing_main.cc
3.Missing source "No SOURCES given to target: src/third_party/vlfeat/vl
I found the gtest files in the 0.5.1 release version, but I couldn't find testing_main.cc.

Research direction
Start with the recursive clone instructions and inspect the CMake configuration references to src/third/gtest, src/testing_main.cc, and src/third_party/vlfeat/vl. Compare those paths with the 0.5.1 release contents and reproduce the build to determine whether the submodules or source references are missing; done means a clean checkout configures without these missing-source errors.
