opencv ubuntu 12.04 Cmake error : Source directory

问题:

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. I was trying to install OpenCV using the steps shown in http://karytech.blogspot.in/2012/05/opencv-24-on-ubuntu-1204.html

But when it comes to the step for Compiling, i get an error :

clive@clive-Aspire-4755:~/OpenCV-2.4.0/build$ cmake -D WITH_QT=ON -D WITH_XINE=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON -D WITH_TBB=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/clive" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Can anyone help me?

NOTE : The CMakeLists.txt file is present in the folder OpenCV-2.4.0 and not inside build.

回答1:

Try /home/clive/OpenCV-2.4.0 instead of .. at the end of the command.

Also, It's generally easier to use ccmake instead cmake, regarding the options You are trying to set for setup.
