Question

I am basically trying to install OpenCV3 with Python3.5. I have successfully gone through all the steps in this tutorial for git checkout 3.1.0 of opencv. However when I enter this command:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
    -D PYTHON3_PACKAGES_PATH=~/.virtualenvs/cv3/lib/python3.5/site-packages \
    -D PYTHON3_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.5.2_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/libpython3.5.dylib \
    -D PYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.5.2_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/include/python3.5m/ \
    -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D BUILD_opencv_python3=ON \
    -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules ..

I get this error:

I have tried it with both ON and OFF for -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON \\ line still no success. Any feedback is really appreciated!

This is the log for flag set to OFF: http://pastebin.com/NF1bbpBC

Answer 1

It took me a good few hours to get this fixed. Here's what I did:

wget https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/archive/3.1.0.zip
wget https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib/archive/3.1.0.zip
unzip 3.1.0.zip
unzip 3.1.0.zip.1
cd opencv-3.1.0
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
      -D BUILD_opencv_java=OFF \
      -D WITH_IPP=OFF -D WITH_1394=OFF \
      -D WITH_FFMPEG=OFF \
      -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF \
      -D BUILD_TESTS=OFF \
      -D BUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF \
      -D BUILD_DOCS=OFF \
      -D BUILD_opencv_python2=ON \
      -D BUILD_opencv_python3=ON \
      -D BUILD_opencv_video=OFF \
      -D BUILD_opencv_videoio=OFF \
      -D BUILD_opencv_videostab=OFF \
      -D PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=$(which python) \
      -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=/Users/mona/computer_vision/Face_Recognition/opencv_contrib-3.1.0/modules ..

In the last one make sure to have the absolute path not something like -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/opencv_contrib-3.1.0/modules ..

Also you would need vi cmake/OpenCVDetectVTK.cmake and change line 6 so it has vtkRenderingOpenGL2 instead of vtkRenderingOpenGL :

6 find_package(VTK QUIET COMPONENTS vtkRenderingOpenGL2 vtkInteractionStyle vtkRenderingLOD vtkIOPLY vtkFiltersTexture vtkRenderingFreeType vtkIOExport NO_MODULE)

Answer 2

Verify if you are using VTK7. If yes, then replace vtkRenderingOpenGL by vtkRenderingOpenGL2 in in line 6 of the file /cmake/OpenCVDetectVTK.cmake
