Hi all! I want to cross compile OpenCV with FFMPG for ARM Linux, but I don't know how to configure Cmake. I have previously downloaded ffmpeg codec from www.ffmpeg.org, and I have built it for ARM. I don't know how to configure Cmake to "see" the built ffmpeg libraries (libavcodec.a, libavformat.a, libavutil.a, libswscale.a).

Can anyone help me??

Thanks in advance!

CMake uses Pkgconfig tool to find FFMPEG libraries and headers. The best way in your case to create pc file for your cross compiled FFMPEG and place it in pkgconfig folder of your cross compile environment. If you use cross compile tool chain from Ubuntu repositories, then place everything in /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi(hf)/

@Alexander I am using cross compile tool chain from Ubuntu repositories, I have merged ffmpeg install directories with usr/arm-linux-gnueabi but still can't find ffmpeg. Help?

Did you build the ffmpeg for arm? At the risk of pointing out the obvious, the ffmpeg used in your host computer is probably built for x86_64 , and that's not compatible.

Try this export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

it worked for me.
