Using QT with openCV on Maverick osX

[Ben_Pflaenz]

Hello

I am new to openCV and I would like to install openCV and use it with QT.
I used macports to install it and i set the path in the terminal.

What I did was;

I installed macports
I typed in the terminal
@
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/bin
source .profile
sudo port -v selfupdate
sudo port install opencv
@
restart
Thats all...

Now i try to compile a Helloworld but i get unknown variable error. Looks like something with the linker gone wrong or i included the wrong libs? I searched google and I found some hints but nothing helped yet. Maybe someone got a suggestion?
Thank you very much for your time and answer!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Check your opencv install to see if it was build for x86_64

[Ben_Pflaenz]

Hmm it should be, Macport installs it as a 64bit as default as I know from google.
I don't know how I can check that honestly.

[SGaist]

call

@file /opt/local/lib/libopencv_core.dylib@

in your console

[Ben_Pflaenz]

so....
/opt/local/lib/libopencv_core.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64

thats the result so I think its the right one? isn't it?

[Ben_Pflaenz]

Yeaah it works! Finally!

/Users/Ben/Qt/5.2.0/clang_64/mkspecs/macx-clang/qmake.conf

had to change

QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.6

to

QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.9

[Ben_Pflaenz]

BUT... other libs like boost won't work anymore...

I have to add
QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 10.9
to the pro file in the project for the opencv projects separately

[SGaist]

You'll have to check that all your libraries have the same deployment target. That might also mean rebuild Qt
