Introduction

ofxCvMin began with the Utility and Wrapper functions from Kyle McDonald's ofxCv (https://github.com/kylemcdonald/ofxCv/) and working builds for OSX and Visual Studio.

The addon aims to provide a lightweight implementation of modern OpenCV with cross-platform C++11 support, i.e.:

• Be fast and convenient (equivalence types, e.g. ofVec2f and cv::Point2f are convertible by refernce without copy)
• Be easy to port between platforms (i.e. no extra libraries)
• Provide some commonly used helper functions which allow the user to most of their work with OpenCV directly.

Currently I'm working with:

• XCode 5
• Visual Studio 2015

This addon does not require ofxOpenCv.

Notes to self

building opencv

• use sources from opencv website
• cmake gui
  • XCode
    • CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS -m32
    • CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES i386
    • CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.8
    • Project settings
      • C++ Language dialect -std=c++11
      • Deployment target 10.8 (probably already is)
    • Set to release
  • VS (2019)
    • BUILD_JAVA - off
    • BUILD_PERF_TESTS - off
    • BUILD_TESTS - off
    • BUILD_WITH_STATIC_CRT - off
    • BUILD_opencv_apps - off
    • BUILD_opencv_world - on
    • OPENCV_ENABLE_NONFREE - on
    • OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH - C:/dev/opencv/opencv_contrib/modules
    • OPENCV_build_**_bindings - off

A working opencv 2.4.9 build can be found at:

• http://www.kimchiandchips.com/files/openFrameworks/opencv-2.4.9-c++11-osx-libc++-x86.zip (note some paths are hard-coded for elliot's machine)

then go into the modules folder and run:

for D in *; do
    if [ -d "${D}" ]; then
        cp -r "${D}/include" ../include   # your processing here
    fi
done

to gather the includes into the ./includes/ folder.
