Following directions from http://docs.opencv.org/2.4.4-beta/doc/tutorials/introduction/desktop_java/java_dev_intro.html, I am running into the this:
make -j8
...
...
Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/libopencv_java244.dylib
ld: unknown option: -whole-archive
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[2]: * [lib/libopencv_java244.dylib] Error 1
make[1]: * [modules/java/CMakeFiles/opencv_java.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Any suggestions?
I had literally the exact same problem! With some digging, I found that the linker ld has different flags in Unix and OS X. Thus the error:
ld: unknown option: -whole-archive
To fix, you can edit the file modules/java/CMakeLists.txt
to use the OS X flags. (search for -whole-archive
)
Original:
target_link_libraries(${the_module} -Wl,-whole-archive ${__deps} -Wl,-no-whole-archive ${__extradeps} ${OPENCV_LINKER_LIBS})
New:
foreach(_dep ${__deps})
target_link_libraries(${the_module} -Wl,-force_load "${_dep}")
endforeach()
I'm going to see if I can get these changes into the repo. :)
--Edit--
My original answer was slightly wrong (but partly right!); I've changed the answer above. -force_load only works for one archive, thus the foreach. As well, it should go to the linker, thus the -Wl. See pull request 741 for details and git pull for up-to-date code.
One of the easiest solution to install OpenCV is to use Homebrew.
All what you need to do is just type:
brew tap homebrew/science
brew install opencv --with-java
It will automaticaly load needed libs and build opencv.
When it will be done, you will be able to find a jar file in
/usr/local/Cellar/opencv/2.4.9/share/OpenCV/java/
I'm guessing you're building from source. If so, I recommend using CMake.
I've managed to build OpenCV 2.4.4 with the Java module by enabling it using ccmake:
cd OpenCV-2.4.4
mkdir build
cd build
ccmake ..
Make sure BUILD_opencv_java
is ON
(should be on by default)
After you're done with the settings:
- press configure(
c
)
- press generate(
g
)
- continue with the usual
make
, make install
For convenience I've also uploaded the Java wrapper built for x86_64 on osx 10.8:
- libopencv_java.dylib
- opencv-2.4.4.jar
- opencv-2.4.4.jar.dephelper
My Solution for this was to use MacPort installation ... it put every thing you need and you have no worries about config , builds and so on...
Just Install MacPort and then run: "sudo port install opencv +java"
