CMake is AFAICT correctly configured and producing the usual .DLL files in build/bin/Debug (as that is the configuration I'd like). The settings for Python3 have the correct directories and BUILD_XXX settings

CMake settings

The only relevant Python stuff I can find is in build/python_loader which has a setup.py file as I'd expect. Running this produces 'opencv\build\python_loader\dist\opencv-4.2.0-py3.7.egg' but no .pyd file. It is installing to the correct directory but the all important DLL file is missing.

So: How does the .pyd file get produced? Which stage of the build?

[Edit] To clarify: the CMake generated project files have all been loaded into VS and built by this stage. All of the OCV .DLL files are created as expectedlink text.

"there is no DEBUG python lib" not exactly. python can be build in debug but to run opencv for python in debug it is necessary to build all import in debug. build numpy in debug configuation it's a problem

LBerger ( 2020-01-18 08:31:06 -0600 )edit

well, it's not part of a normal python distribution, right ?

berak ( 2020-01-18 08:33:23 -0600 )edit

No I have downloaded python source

cmake does not build anything. it only creates project files for the c++ compiler / ide. then you have to open the opencv.sln, and build the INSTALL project.
there is no DEBUG python lib, so it can't create a pyd in DEBUG, only in RELEASE mode.
if you're mainly interested in the python bindings, use cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF to get a self-contained pyd (no further opencv dlls nessecary)
building the INSTALL project, will copy the final pyd to your site-packages

So I've reconfigured with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS left unchecked in the CMake GUI, regenerated the VS project files, and then rebuilt the solution in release mode. Then (for good measure) rebuilt the install project. Still no .pyd file.See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/g40... for log from INSTALL build

what about R:/src/libs/opencv/build/lib/python3 ?

thanks for the report. imho, we're safe to assume, it was never built at all ;(

can you check the build logs, put your cmake output somewhere (won't fit into a comment) ?

berak ( 2020-01-18 11:03:21 -0600 )edit

Hello berak. Thanks for the help here. Much appreciated. link text

g40 ( 2020-01-18 11:09:16 -0600 )edit

thanks, but not quite -- the text in the cmake-gui box at the bottom (or what cmake would spit out on console)

berak ( 2020-01-18 11:12:35 -0600 )edit

aha. Interesting. Unavailable: gapi java js python2 python3

g40 ( 2020-01-18 11:20:45 -0600 )edit

you must have package numpy pylint flake8 and beatifulSoup before running cmake

LBerger ( 2020-01-18 11:23:05 -0600 )edit

@berak. I am no stranger to cmake foolishness. see link text

Thanks again.

g40 ( 2020-01-18 11:23:12 -0600 )edit

@LBerger. OK thank you that might be helpful. From where should these packages be sourced and where installed? Please give more specific information. And bear in mind this is Windows. So nop 'sudo apt ...' luxuries :)

If your python interpreter is not official, you can try the official version.
Details: I have used anaconda python to build opencv, but the same as your question, there isn't BUILD_opencv_python3 in cmake gui, as a result I can't get a .pyd file. I come across a comment that anaconda and cmake have compatibility problems. Finally I solved it by installing official python version.
