I downloaded opencv 2.4.6 for mac OSX (Mavericks). Untared the tar file and made the following steps:

cd opencv-2.4.6.1/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..
make -j8

But I get an error on the build

回答1:

I used this compilation options for cmake:

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/produit/Library/Developer/opencv/ -D CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64 -D BUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF -D BUILD_opencv_legacy=NO ..

回答2:

It's strange, the bug hase already been reported! http://code.opencv.org/issues/3179

And have already been solved: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/pull/1244

Still - for a quick solution:

Open up the

[...]opencv-2.4.6.1/modules/ts/include/opencv2/ts/ts_perf.hpp

Edit around line 480:

with the following:

#if defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER <= 1400)
#define CV_PERF_TEST_MAIN_INTERNALS_ARGS(...)  \
   while (++argc >= (--argc,-1)) {__VA_ARGS__; break;} /*this ugly construction is needed for VS 2005*/
#else
#define CV_PERF_TEST_MAIN_INTERNALS_ARGS(...)  \
   __VA_ARGS__;
#endif
#define CV_PERF_TEST_MAIN_INTERNALS(modulename, impls, ...)  \
   CV_PERF_TEST_MAIN_INTERNALS_ARGS(__VA_ARGS__) \'

instead of:

#define CV_PERF_TEST_MAIN_INTERNALS(modulename, impls, ...) \
  while (++argc >= (--argc,-1)) {__VA_ARGS__; break;} /*this ugly construction is needed for VS 2005*/\
