Installation in Linux |
|
*********************** |
|
These steps have been tested for Ubuntu 10.04 but should work with other distros. |
|
|
|
Required packages |
|
================== |
|
|
|
* GCC 4.x or later. This can be installed with |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential |
|
|
|
* CMake 2.6 or higher |
|
* Subversion (SVN) client |
|
* GTK+2.x or higher, including headers |
|
* pkgconfig |
|
* libpng, zlib, libjpeg, libtiff, libjasper with development files (e.g. libpjeg-dev) |
|
* Python 2.3 or later with developer packages (e.g. python-dev) |
|
* SWIG 1.3.30 or later (only for versions prior to OpenCV 2.3) |
|
* libavcodec |
|
* libdc1394 2.x |
|
|
|
All the libraries above can be installed via Terminal or by using Synaptic Manager |
|
|
|
Getting OpenCV source code |
|
============================ |
|
|
|
You can use the latest stable OpenCV version available in *sourceforge* or you can grab the latest snapshot from the `SVN repository <http://code.ros.org/svn/opencv/>`_. |
|
|
|
Getting the latest stable OpenCV version |
|
------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
* Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary |
|
|
|
* Download the source tarball and unpack it |
|
|
|
|
|
Getting the cutting-edge OpenCV from SourceForge SVN repository |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Launch SVN client and checkout either |
|
|
|
a. the current OpenCV snapshot from here: https://code.ros.org/svn/opencv/trunk |
|
|
|
#. or the latest tested OpenCV snapshot from here: http://code.ros.org/svn/opencv/tags/latest_tested_snapshot |
|
|
|
In Ubuntu it can be done using the following command, e.g.: |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
cd ~/<my_working _directory> |
|
svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/opencv/trunk |
|
|
|
|
|
Building OpenCV from source using CMake, using the command line |
|
================================================================ |
|
|
|
#. Create a temporary directory, which we denote as <cmake_binary_dir>, where you want to put the generated Makefiles, project files as well the object filees and output binaries |
|
|
|
#. Enter the <cmake_binary_dir> and type |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
cmake [<some optional parameters>] <path to the OpenCV source directory> |
|
|
|
For example |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
cd ~/opencv |
|
mkdir release |
|
cd release |
|
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= /usr/local |
|
|
|
#. Enter the created temporary directory (<cmake_binary_dir>) and proceed with: |
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash |
|
|
|
make |
|
sudo make install |
|
|
|
.. note:: |
|
|
|
If the size of the created library is a critical issue (like in case of an Android build) you can use the ``install/strip`` command to get the smallest size as possible. The *stripped* version appears to be twice as small. However, we do not recommend using this unless those extra megabytes do really matter. |
