Hi!

I'm about to install OpenCV 2.4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and during the build process some errors show up:

In file included from /home/thomas/OpenCV-2.4.1/modules/highgui/src/cap_ffmpeg.cpp:45:0:

make[1]: *** [modules/highgui/CMakeFiles/opencv_highgui.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Anyone who have an idea about how to correct this or experienced the same errors? I have tried to see if there are some missed includes somewhere but can't find anything.

Thanks!

Regards Thomas

This error occurs when Opencv and ffmpeg are not fully compatible. In new ffmpeg version CodecID was replaced with AVCodecID so go to your cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp file and change all occurences of CodecID to AVCodecID. In my case it was three lines. Restart the compilation of openCV and you should be fine :-)

Like mentioned in this you need to build ffmpeg first before building openCV. I urge you to follow this guide and then see of the problem still exists.

Another usefull guide could be this one.

I had the same problem at first. Ended up building ffmpeg from source and it was all fixed. Follow these instructions: http://superuser.com/questions/286675/how-to-install-ffmpeg-on-debian
