First of all, you need to have TBB installed. You can get it at http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/.

When you build OpenCV with cmake, include the option WITH_TBB=ON. Example:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D WITH_TBB=ON -D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON  ..

If you dont want to build tbb from source and are using linux you can pull the library using apt-get. libtbb2 and libtbb-dev are the libraries you need to install

If I build with tbb, does it mean that openCV will automatically use multiple cores on its functions? Or is there any further procedure?

And if cmake WITH_TBB=ON=ON followed by make still produces Use TBB: NO, what could be causing that?

On OS X, if you don't want to build TBB brew install tbb also works fine

You may also CMake GUI. Just check the box of WITH_TBB.

You can download CMake from the link below.

Add option WITH_TBB=ON when building opencv.
