I've really been struggling to get open CV to work with python and eclipse over the last few days. I've tried alsorts, and feel thurley beaten.
Because i've installed so much, i'm wondering if I need to start afresh, with a "dummy's guide" to getting this library working with eclipse and Python.
1) I have:
windows 7 (64 bit)
Eclipse Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1) with pydev (3.9.1.201501081637)
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Python 3.4.2 (v3.4.2:ab2c023a9432, Oct 6 2014, 22:15:05) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
numpty version 1.6.1 (not sure if its 32 or 64 bit)
I also have an un built (compiled version of numpty 1.91 sitting on my desktop un built (compiled) because i dont know how to do it.)
opencv version, not sure, because I have a folder on my c drive with many folders in it but the top 2 are build and sources. I haven't built (compiled) open cv, just downloaded and extracted it to my C drive.
2) Could someone explain the nuts and bolts of a python file using open CV and numpty, within eclipse? in particular how the file structure works? Should the open cv library be an exe or dll, why are there no windows installation files? should numpty be an exe or dll? What tests could I go through to verify that my installation is working? that kind of thing.
3) I don't think i fully understand the many setup tutorials I have read, I think i'm missing something fundamental. Because i'm not using visual studio, do I have to build open CV and Numpty from the source files?
Please can someone point me in the correct direction, because I feel as though i'm swimming in circles!
