[SOLVED] Help with setting up OpenCV in QT on OSX
-
I'm new to QT and am having trouble setting up OpenCV for use with QT under OSX. Most of the information I've found on this pertains to Windows or Linux so I'm struggling. I've written an extensive post about "what I have tried so far over at stackOverflow":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17518408/setting-up-opencv-in-qt-on-osx Rather than repost all that here, the gist is that I don't seem to be linking to the OpenCV libs correctly. The console output is below.
I've tried various ways of specifying the lib path & libs in the project profile. OpenCV is correctly installed for OSX - the headers are at /usr/local/include and the libs at /usr/local/libs. Does QT require something different?
If more detail or specifics are needed, please let me know or check out my post at "stackOverflow":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17518408/setting-up-opencv-in-qt-on-osx
- Thanks!
- one attempt at defining the lib paths. Tried it without periods, etc.

Hi and welcome to devnet,
That's wrong

Thanks. I've tried it a bunch of different ways. I think what I posted above was the most recent desperate error-ridden attempt.
I just tried with code below and get the same not found error (:-1: error: library not found for -libopencv_core.2.4.6). Also tried not including the version number, etc. and got the same error.
Seems like I have some basic thing wrong and/or not set correctly. An environment var or ther setting.
@INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include\
LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib
-libopencv_core.2.4.6
-libopencv_imgproc.2.4.6
-libopencv_features2d.2.4.6
-libopencv_highgui.2.4.6@ -
Because it's not -libopencv_core.2.4.6, it's -lopencv_core.2.4.6.

Arrgh! Dumb errors. Thanks for pointing that out.
There was some logic (albeit flawed) which got me to that point. On OSX the file name is libopencv_core.2.4.6.dylib and I was confused about the -l flag in the examples I was looking at.
Here's a follow-up question: on my machine it looks like libopencv_core.dylib is an alias to libopencv_core.2.4.6.dylib . Am I correct in thinking that I should use the base lib name rather than the lib name which includes version numbers as I've seen in example code?
In other words, using just the base name will accommodate future versions of a lib:
@LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib
-lopencv_core
-lopencv_imgproc
-lopencv_features2d
-lopencv_highgui@ -
You're welcome, classic error :)
That's the right way to do it yes

Even if this is closed I would like to comment. I have this exact problem, with OpenCV 2.4.9 and OS X Maverick. Now, I am a complete noob on the Mac, but I have worked with the unixes for a long time. The changes in the .pro file do not seem to have any change in the linking,
@
TEMPLATE = app
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle
CONFIG -= qtSOURCES += main.cpp
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include\
LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib
-lopencv_core
-lopencv_imgproc
-lopencv_features2d
-lopencv_highgui
@I had thought that maybe the highgui libraries had not been compiled, but using the command line works:
gcc main.cpp -L/usr/local/lib -lopencv_core -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_highgui -lstdc++ -o planar
Any thoughts?
[edit: added missing coding tags @ SGaist]
-
@INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/include\ <- that backslash is wrong and probably breaks the rest of the pro file@
-
Sorry that was a formatting error. But I found what the problem is, al I needed was to use c++11 in the configuration by adding
@CONFIG += c++11@
to the .pro file.
