Compiling errors (3.0.0-alpha / Master Head) on Linux

I tried to compile opencv from sources:

1) first from the HEAD of master branch on github and then

2) from the zip file https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/archive/3.0.0-alpha.zip

In both cases I got the same error message:

Building CXX object modules/videoio/CMakeFiles/opencv_videoio.dir/src/cap_ffmpeg.cpp.o In file included from /home/ilya/opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp:65:0, from /home/ilya/opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_ffmpeg.cpp:45: /home/ilya/opencv/modules/videoio/src/ffmpeg_codecs.hpp:98:7: error: ‘CODEC_ID_H264’ was not declared in this scope { CODEC_ID_H264, MKTAG('H', '2', '6', '4') },

I'm running Debian Testing distro, amd64 architecture.

Any idea what's wrong?

When compiling for 64bit you need to make sure that FFMpeg, libx264 and libav is configured with 'configure --enable-pic'. But from the error it would appear that FFMpeg does not include the x264 codec. So maybe try to install libx264 first.

I did it: installed the package libx264-dev, cleaned the working directory and run "cmake . && make" again. Alas, same error message...

I had the same problem (Debian jessie 64bit + opencv 3.0.0-alpha)! It seems to be a FFMPEG / LIBAV compatibility problem :/ (link text)

Here is the solution: link text

This solution worked for me.

Best regards,

A valid workaround is to disable "FFMPEG support" in CMakeLists.txt:

diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt

you can also pass this to cmake with -DWITH_FFMPEG=0 so you don't have to hack into files to disable/enable a certain option
