Running openCV project on Mac OS
- 2. * Take reference of appendix for the installation of openCV on Mac With openCV installed, the openCV project folder encloses : 1. CMakeLists.txt 2. cppName.cpp 3. Input files (if needed)
- 3. CMakeLists.txt : cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) project( projectName ) find_package( OpenCV ) include_directories( ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS} ) add_executable( exeFileName cppFileName.cpp ) target_link_libraries( exeFileName ${OpenCV_LIBS} )
- 4. Testing example : cppFileName.cpp
- 5. In Terminal : cd /path_to_cvProject /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake . make ./exeFileName
- 6. In Terminal : cd /path_to_cvProject /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/cmake . make ./exeFileName
- 8. Appendix : Installation of openCV on Mac Download OpenCV for Mac from www.opencv.org
- 9. 2. Under the folder of "opencv-3.2.0", create a new folder and name it "build" Once the download is done, unzip the "opencv-3.2.0.zip" file and then1. move the "opencv-3.2.0" folder under a proper directory, such as the user's Documents. e.g. /Users/davidhsu/Documents/opencv-3.2.0
- 10. To install the library of openCV for Python, you also need ...
- 11. Open the application "CMake" Browse Source to the folder of "opencv-3.2.0" 1. Browse Build to the folder of "build" under opencv-3.2.0 2. Click "Configure"3.
- 12. Choose "Unix Makefiles" 1. Use default native compilers2. Click "Done"3.
- 13. Check "Configuring done" to make sure it was successful
- 14. Click "Generate"
- 15. Check "Generating done" to make sure it was successful
- 16. In Terminal: cd /Users/davidhsu/Documents/opencv-3.2.0/build 1. make -j8 2. sudo make install3.
- 17. Ready to go !
- 18. Congrats, enjoy programming with openCV !
