Building a cmake C++ project depending on OpenCV on Linux

Question

I need my project to be built on someone's else Linux from source. I have a CMake project that uses only two functions from OpenCV imgcodecs.hpp. On Windows all I needed to include/link were opencv_world460.dll, opencv_world460.lib and a directory with headers, so I didn't have to force user to download the complete OpenCV pack for building my project. On Linux there are plenty of files in /bin directory after building, but no opencv_world460, so I don't know which file I should put in target_link_libraries(""). Any idea?

Answer 1

Calling the OpenCV cmake command with -D BUILD_opencv_world=ON should create the opencv world libraries.
