Error: undefined reference to `cvReleaseImage' (opencv + Qt)

mrjj

Hi
The video contains links to a Qt build version it seems. ( 3rd link in the text below)
But its for 5.4 ( and seems to contain virus/unclean ) so I could not check what
was actually inside.

and it seems the poster is using
Qt5.12.11 so I guess that is why it won't link.

@Negar_mg

I think you might have better luck with
https://wiki.qt.io/How_to_setup_Qt_and_openCV_on_Windows
The other video is using something that is really old.

Unless it must be Qt 54. ofc. even if very, very old.

Negar_mg

i am using
Qt5.12.11 ,
OpenCV-2.4.9- Qt 5.4,
opencv-4.5.2-vc14_vc15
windows10

i did that link's steps but i have some errors in cmake.
this is logs:

SGaist

What exactly are you trying to build ?

Negar_mg

I want to write a program to display an image or video from a webcam using Qt and Open CV.
But I was not able to add Open CV to QT. When I used the following link, I encountered those errors in CMake.
/................................................................................................
https://wiki.qt.io/How_to_setup_Qt_and_openCV_on_Windows
/...............................................................................................
And when I used the link from YouTube that I sent in the first comment, I encountered those errors in Qt.

SGaist

From the looks of it, the OpenCV 4 you downloaded is built with Visual Studio, thus you have to use a Visual Studio build of Qt as well as mixing C++ compilers is not possible.

Negar_mg

You mean you think I can not use opencv with Qt?
Is there no way?

jsulm

@Negar_mg said in Error: undefined reference to `cvReleaseImage' (opencv + Qt):

You mean you think I can not use opencv with Qt?

No, that's not what @SGaist means.
What he means is that you can't mix binaries built with different C++ compilers.
And because OpenCV you downloaded was built using compiler from Microsoft Visual Studio you also need Qt built with this compiler. So, simply install MSVC2017 or MSVC2019 Qt.

Negar_mg

thanks alot :)

Negar_mg

If I understand correctly, there are 2 ways to solve this issue:

1- use vc compiler in qt to compile my codes.

Here is a link I found for that, please let me know if it is correct:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47773289/debugging-in-qtcreator-using-msvc2017-compiler

2- download and compile opencv using qt compiler, and then refering to that folder in my qt.
Is this compiler called minWG?
Please give me a link or instruction on how to do that.

jsulm

@Negar_mg said in Error: undefined reference to `cvReleaseImage' (opencv + Qt):

Is this compiler called minWG?

I don't know what compiler you are using. This is something you should know.

To use Visual Studio compiler you first need to install Visual Studio together with C++ tools. You can use the free Community edition. Then install Qt for that Visual Studio version. Then you should have a Kit in QtCreator configured to use Visual Studio compiler. The link you posted looks legit, just download more recent Qt version.

Negar_mg

I do not need vs and i have uninstalled it
But i still get the error mentioned above
How can i install opencv on qt without visual studio?

jsulm

@Negar_mg Build OpenCV using the compiler you're using with Qt...
@mrjj Already gave you a link: https://wiki.qt.io/How_to_setup_Qt_and_openCV_on_Windows
Also there is official OpenCV documentation for that: https://docs.opencv.org/3.4/d3/d52/tutorial_windows_install.html

I have followed the steps in the link you provided, but cmake step raised some errors. Its log is bellow:

Hi
Could you try with python 2.7 instead?

It seems to complain about the 3.7 version

CMake's 'find_host_package(PythonInterp 2.7)' found wrong Python version:
Could NOT find Python2 (missing: Python2_EXECUTABLE Interpreter)
Wrong major version for the interpreter "C:/Users/test/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python37/python.exe"

Negar_mg

How can i try it with python 2.7? What should i change in tutorial steps?

jsulm

@Negar_mg You should install Python 2.7

mrjj

@Negar_mg

All steps the same.
Simply install python 2.7 and see if it then
sounds happier

Negar_mg

I installed Python 2.7, checked that it was installed with the python -v command in cmd, then according to this link

In cmake, I selected the source and destination, but after clicking the configure button, I encountered these errors:

Negar_mg

@mrjj ,
@SGaist
Please Help me ,
How can I fix these errors?

jsulm

@Negar_mg I don't know how. This is an OpenCV issue and has nothing to do with Qt. Please ask in an OpenCV forum.

You should at least consider doing what the error output suggests:
"For details please refer to the download log file:

C:/Qt/opencv_cv2/opencv/Release/CMakeDownloadLog.txt"
It looks like it can't download some dependencies.
