Hi, I'm new to OpenCV and I'm giving it a try.

I had compiled OpenCV 2.4.7 source in an old AMD Athlon 2.2 Ghz machine with Ubuntu.

The examples don't work, I receive SIGILL, illegal instruction for instruction cvtps2pd .

Is this an issue with cmake or anything related in the building process?

I've followed the instructions from http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux_install/linux_install.html

wich lead to:

cd ~/opencv mkdir release cd release cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local .. make sudo make install

Here is the stack from GDB and some info on the machine.

====================================================
This GDB was configured as "i686-linux-gnu".

cvtps2pd is instruction from SSE2 instruction set. As I can see from your /proc/cpuinfo your machine does not support SSE2. You need to disable such optimizations using -DENABLE_SSE2=OFF key in cmake command line.

Is not cmake job to be aware of this in the build process? That bugs me.

But I'm going through a hell of a nightmare to build OpenCV in this machine. 'make' command breaks too often, giving me SEGFAULT and now I'm an not able to compile the source with your -DENABLE_SSE2=OFF suggestion.

I'll start all over again...

Segmentation fault in program cc1

I have more trace but there are not enough space for them here :(

This message means that your version of GCC has some bug. Try to update it or use more stable compiler version.

I've managed do get gcc back to work (uninstalling / reinstalling), and ok, -DENABLE_SSE2=OFF made the trick for me.

Thank you so much Alexander!

Actually ENABLE_SSE2 is one of the group of OpenCV cmake keys that controls hardware optimizations. The full list of the keys and default values you can find in CMakeLists.txt in the root of OpenCV source code.

Good one, guys. I've just encountered this error myself. Very pleasant experience to see a fix for it. Cheers.
