Hi All,

Currently I'm installing the openCV on my computer, and it report an error like this:

One of my mates has already installed opecv on his system(Mac OS El Captain) successfully without this error.

I thought this problem may be caused by latest update on Mac OS. I checked the update and Apple said the CVKit has already replaced QTKit.

Does anyone has some ideas about how to solve this issue? I'm be grateful indeed if you can help me!

oh shit i just upgraded all my boxes to macos Sierra :-)

my stuff still works, haven't recompiled opencv yet though. What is CVKit ? I'm not sure what QTKit is either actually - but it looks like it's part of highgui (probably uses QT).

And as it seems part of opencv, what were youre steps before you downloaded opencv? Alternatively - try using homebrew.
