# opencv-4.13.0

## Introduction to opencv

The opencv package contains graphics libraries mainly aimed at real-time computer vision.

### Note

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 13.1 platform.

### Package Information

- Download (HTTP): https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/4.13.0/opencv-4.13.0.tar.gz

- Download MD5 sum: f33c0ace3add57aba7b9d3fe3c41feb4

- Download size: 91 MB

- Estimated disk space required: 1.0 GB (with opencv-contrib)

- Estimated build time: 4.1 SBU (using parallelism=8)

### Additional Downloads

- Required patch: https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/blfs/svn/opencv-4.13.0-ffmpeg-9.0.patch

- Optional additional modules: https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib/archive/4.13.0/opencv_contrib-4.13.0.tar.gz

- Optional additional modules Size: 53 MB

### Note

One additional file that starts with "ippicv" (integrated performance primitives) will be automatically downloaded during the cmake portion of the build procedure. This download is specific to the system architecture.

### opencv Dependencies

## Installation of opencv

Fix building this package with ffmpeg-9:

    patch -Np1 -i ../opencv-4.13.0-ffmpeg-9.0.patch

If you downloaded the optional modules, unpack them now:

    tar -xf ../opencv_contrib-4.13.0.tar.gz

Install opencv by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr      \
          -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release       \
          -D ENABLE_CXX11=ON                \
          -D BUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF           \
          -D WITH_XINE=ON                   \
          -D BUILD_TESTS=OFF                \
          -D ENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF \
          -D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON    \
          -D BUILD_WITH_DEBUG_INFO=OFF      \
          -D OPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON   \
          -W no-author  ..                  &&
    make

The package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON`: This switch makes cmake remove hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary executable file or a shared library. This package does not need rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.

`-D WITH_XINE=ON`: This switch instructs the make procedure to use xine-lib-1.2.13.

`-D ENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF`: This switch is needed for compatibility with gcc-6.1 and later.

`-D OPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON`: This switch tells the build system to generate a pkg-config file for other packages to detect and link to the libraries installed by this package.

`-D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../opencv_contrib-4.13.0/modules`: instructs the build system to build additional modules. Some packages in BLFS (such as gst-plugins-bad-1.28.6) need these modules to build components that use OpenCV.
