I am looking for an advice how to effectivelly develop within OpenCV. How to setup development envirmonet to develop, debug, and build OpenCV itself.
So I am able to modify OpenCV code, debug it and rebuild original opencv libs. Do you use or recommend some IDE for it?

My setup on Ubuntu:

  • QtCreator (support CMake, hold ctrl key + left click on a class / function --> you will go directly to the definition, ...)
  • gdb to debug
  • valgrind for memory leak

My setup on Windows:

  • Visual Studio Community

I agree QtCreator and Visual Studio as IDE of choice for C++ development. They have automatic code completion and integrated debugger.

It is also quite simple to transform a cv::Mat into QImage and back, so you can integrate easily your results into a Qt based GUI.

For Python development I don't have ideas, but I'm sure that any good IDE will do it.
