A patch to compile OpenCV on Ubuntu 12 (Patch #3010)

Zen Kshatriya wrote:

FYI OpenCV does not compile as is on Ubuntu after doing a pull from github. Most of the errors are because of missing include files that are (presumably) automatically included by Visual Studio or Xcode.

Attached is a patch that fixes this.

Can you explain how to apply this patch, please.
I haven't deal with patch files before.
thanks

The steps to get it building on Ubuntu once you have the prerequisites are:

1) git clone the repo from github
2) download the patch file and place it in the same directory as the cloned repo
3) use the following command "patch -p1 < ubuntu_opencv.patch"

You should then be able to follow the instructions here to build:

Thank you, but I still have a problem after make command:

so, where is the problem ?
thanks again.

Hello Zen,
