Error during opencv 3.3.0 source compilation

Hi,

So I got the sources from : https://github.com/opencv/opencv/arch...

installed MinGW in c:\MinGW and rebooted (latest version)

I then installed Cmake from https://cmake.org/ (latest version)

I extracted the sources in c:\opencv_opencv3.3.0-sources

I runned cmakeGui

I gave it c:\opencv<_opencv3.3.0-sources as source dir and c:\opencv<_opencv3.3.0-build as build dir

I hitted 'configure', selected 'MinGW makefile' and let it run util it showed me checkboxes in red

I checked the C examples

I hitted 'configure' again and let it run, now all the line turned white

I hitted 'generate'

Then I went in c:\opencv_opencv3.3.0-build and opened a command line an typed : 'mingw32-make --debug'

and a 28% I get an error :

it might already work, if you disable precompiled headers in cmake, try that first (and clean build folder) !

(but again, there will be more errors. opencv stopped supporting mingw a long time ago)

@berak@mshabunin "opencv stopped supporting mingw a long time ago" but i think it's a problem because it is a free compiler for windows (even if VS can be free download sometime ).

i never said, i liked that decision. (and i have to use mingw, too.)

last comments i've seen wrt. were like: oh, we're not going to do the work required, but if you do that, we'll happily accept patches/pr's . it's a matter of focus, i guess.

@berak I said it's only a problem (like you wrote you never said you liked it). Is it possible to solve this problem with the help opencv team ? example @mshabunin some peoples gives a full method to build a mingw64 release and opencv team make it available on github.

let's try to to write something up, maybe we can get it into the tutorials ?

@SpacePirate If you want to stick with mingw32-make, see:

You should be able to build OpenCV 3.3 release without precompiled headers and by tweaking one file.

There is a newer version of mingw - mingw-w64, which is actively developed. mingw32- is obsolete version, last stable release was in October 4, 2013. You can read more about it in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinGW

I just tried to crosscompile the latest master branch revision of OpenCV using mingw-w64 5.3.1 toolchain provided by Ubuntu - it resulted with success. Most probably it can be built in Windows too.

I'd recommend using the Visual Studio for compilation as it is the most tested method. If you wish to use mingw-w64, I'd recommend to take a look at the QtCreator, because it is a great IDE which supports both cmake and mingw with several clicks.
