Does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt

Question

I am trying to insert OpenCV libraries in Eclipse. I am using mac osX. After downloading the libraries, I tried to follow the configuration from this tutorial.

I installed Cmake in my terminal, but after trying to use

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++ -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc -D WITH_CUDA=ON .. 

I got a message says "does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt" in the directory of openCV.

How can I solve this? Is there another way to configure OpenCV in mac Eclipse?

Goto Build directory

 Try with cmake .. your command

Answer 2

This option of cmake lets you generate Unix traditional makefiles from CMake project files (known as CMakeLists.txt). You cannot do it with cmake project files. But relax - it is easy, though you have to detect CUDA in your project. Sample for you . And another one .
