(Get the code!)
Okey, so I'm still not ready to let this one go ;)
I've followed this guide: http://
To compile and install those on my machine:
libpano13 2.9.19-789hg
enblend 4.2-7bcf8a1e6b3d
hugin 2013.0.0.6337
Now with this setup, trying to create a panorma with more than 2**31 pixels will fail within minutes, and since Christoph said that this is simply not possible I'm gonna let that one go. Though why someone would address pixels with a signed integer type still puzzles me...
So I've settled to trying to achieve to create a panorama of the size 240.000 x 8.292 = 1.990.080.000 pixels, which is smaller than 2^31 = 2.147.483.648
My first try failed after a few hours when trying to enblend picture 66 of 229 - with an out of memory exception. Though unlike with previous "memory exceptions" this time the memory & swap space truly was completly full. (10GB RAM + 20GB Swap). So I've decided to make my swap partition a little bigger (100GB) and now enblend is already running for a little over 24 hours and is currently enblending picture 140 of 229 and the biggest memory usage I saw until now was 10GB RAM + 39GB swap = 49GB total.
Another Problem I've got is the introduction of artefacts by enblend.
With the self-compiled enblend version specified above I've created two panoramas yet - one 100.000 x 3.455 pixels, and one with 130.000 x 4.492 pixels, and both show artifacts like those

though the bigger version has more of them, and more severe ones.
With the default Ubuntu 13.04 enblend package 4.0+dfsg-4ubuntu3 I've tried a lot of different sizes, and the biggest one without artefacts was 86.000 x 2.881 pixels, the biggest one that did not fail to enblend was 135.000 x 7.191. The artifacts that this old enblend version introduced into the panorama where hundreds of 1 pixel thick lines that where black, or dark gray or sometimes also nearly invisible because of nearly the same color as the panorama at that segment. The bigger the panorama the more of those lines where introduced.
