cross compile opencv-3.4.3 for arm
Hello all,
I am trying to cross compile openCV 3.4.3 for my arm toolchain by following the steps as mentioned in https://docs.opencv.org/3.4.3/d0/d76/...
Following are the steps-
1) git clone -b 3.4 https://github.com/opencv/opencv
2) cd opencv
4) mkdir build
5) cd build
6) All my tool-chain binaries are present in /usr/local/arm_linux_4.3/usr/bin
7) export PATH=/usr/local/arm_linux_4.3/usr/bin:$PATH
8) cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/realand/opencv/build/install -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-g++ -DCMAKE_LINKER=arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-ld -DCMAKE_AR=arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-ar -DSOFTFP=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/home/realand/opencv/platforms/linux/arm-gnueabi.toolchain.cmake /home/realand/opencv
But I am getting too many errors in the above step. This is the first time I am using cmake to cross compile a library. So I am not at all familiar with it's working.
Now that I am getting so many errors how do I proceed? Following is the output-

why 1) ?
also git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv is the masterr branch.
imho you should replace 1)-3) by:
also:
should point to, where you want the final binaries/headers, so probably:
we can only help, if you TELL us the errors...
Hello @berak, I have updated my post.
try to disable everything python related (you can't cross-compile the python bindings anyway) e.g. :
and all
Performing Test HAVE_warnings/errors are irrelevant.Ok, let me try that. One more doubt I have. I also try compiling using cmake-gui but get following error - "cmake-gui: cannot connect to X server"
Cross compiling OpenCV is a real PITA. I think it's better to compile it directly on the ARM computer. It will take a while (but even on a Raspberry Pi 1 it takes less than 10 hours).
So while you figure out how to set up your cross-compile chain with all the dependencies, it's already built locally.
Any plans on enhancing cmake to better support cross-compile, if so when?
I observer that cmake has hardcoded /usr/include and /usr/local for search paths, I went thru all my *.cmake files to allow my cross-compile to work, but my make fails on resize.cpp compile errors.
Thanks
