These things are always too hard to install

[stefan-reich]

No binaries, and then, specifically, an OpenCV dependency? I'm sorry, there were too many scars, I will not try to install OpenCV ever again.

Making my own image recognition now anyway, but this program would have been nice to try out IF there was an easy way to install it.

Cheers everyone

And the rather old OpenCV 2.4.11 dependency does not help. It's already 3 years old and has outdated compilation instructions. I am having a hard time compiling it on latest ubuntu release.

What needs to be done to upgrade OpenCV to 3.x ?

[benny-innofaith]

OpenCV 4.0.0 has been released. Huzah! The dependency is now 2 major versions behind. OpenCV 4 heralds the removal of most c functions in favor of a c++ api.

I managed to compile this library by compiling it on an old Ubuntu 14.04 in a virtual-box. See some of the other issues for solutions to other compile errors you will encounter.
