Hello,

I'm trying to build OpenCV on Ubuntu 16.10. The build process is interrupted with the error shown below.

Obviously the file "/usr/include/c++/6/stdlib.h" exists in my system. I have tried this with: OpenCV master branch, OpenCV 3.1.0, 3.0.0, 2.4.13.

Could you please give me some clues what can cause this error and how to solve it? All ideas are welcome :)

it's a bug in the cmake files, which was fixed a month ago

please try to get latest github master branch (not 3.1.0 release)

Could you please confirm that the fix is working with a few more lines on the latest github master. I (a.k.a. newbie) downloaded the files yesterday and experienced the identical error?

My issue. I used the wrong repository. Everything worked fine based on your instructions, Berak. Thx.

@berak thank you for your answer. The problem which I described still occurs. I hace tried that with master branch on 2016.12.02 and again - today (2016.12.26).

Problem still exists in master branch. The solution which i have found is described here:
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issu...

In short:

  • solution 1:
    Configure compilation process with following parameter:

cmake -DENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF ...

  • solution 2:
    Patch the cmake file (see link above for details).

in case someone get ffmpeg_codecs.hpp error: ‘CODEC_ID_H264’ was not declared in this scope, you can add -D WITH_FFMPEG=OFF to your make

In which file should I put the following line cmake -DENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS = OFF?

And in which folder do I find that file?

@retg096 please do not post answers here, if you have a question or a comment, thank you.

(and it is a cmake cmdline option)
