problem.. /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencv_imgcodecs #4942

ghost · 2016-11-01T16:22:44Z

Hi..

My machine spec..
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
python 2.7, opencv 2.4.11

I tried to compile py-faster-rcnn -> make -j8 && make pycaffe

and..... build failed..

CXX examples/cpp_classification/classification.cpp
CXX .build_release/src/caffe/proto/caffe.pb.cc
AR -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.a
LD -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencv_imgcodecs
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:570: recipe for target '.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3' failed
make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3] Error 1

I added to Makefile opencv_imgcodecs, but still problem..

help me.. thanks.

abuccts · 2016-11-02T12:10:41Z

opencv_imgcodecs is needed and available in opencv 3.0+.
You don't need to link it if using version 2.4.11.
Please refer to line 194-199 in Makefile.

thelittlekid · 2017-03-14T22:27:22Z

@Mjgo, have you fixed it?
@abuccts, I got the same error message after commenting those lines in Makefile. What else did you do?
Thanks.

Po-Hsuan-Huang · 2017-03-29T08:18:39Z

seems like @Mjgo was using opencv2.4
I got the same problem when installing with opencv3.0+ and CUDA on Ubuntu 16.04
I also added opencv_imgcodescs and opencv_videoio to my Makefile but not solving the issue.

My error message

@Mjgo @abuccts @Po-Hsuan-Huang Did you already fixed the problem? I got the same problem....
cannot find -lopencv_imagecodecs

lvzongting · 2017-05-01T03:58:46Z

comment this line OPENCV_VERSION := 3 will be ok.

shubhamgoel27 · 2017-11-29T10:17:10Z

I have the same error. I've included the mentioned libraries in Makefile.config and Makefile. Any solution would be appreciated.

duygusar · 2017-12-08T15:45:02Z

I have the same error "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencv_imgcodecs

I have Opencv 3.3

koujan · 2017-12-12T00:25:51Z

Has anybody figured out how to fix this issue!?

mbronek7 · 2017-12-12T00:40:56Z

I tried but I wasn't able to figure out how to fix it and I asked this question on Caffe Users Group also now answers

duygusar · 2017-12-12T09:08:17Z

@koujan @mbronek7
I was able to fix this, but I am not sure what worked exactly since I didn't take notes, as far as I remember

First, make sure you run this to satisfy all python requirements
sudo sh -c 'for req in $(cat requirements.txt); do pip install $req; done'

2.Then Follow the answer to this question religiously (for OpenCV 3.3 at least but possibly for 3.2 as well):
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46584000/cmake-error-variables-are-set-to-notfound

shubhamgoel27 · 2017-12-12T09:14:37Z

Managed to solve it.

Added the OpenCV lib path to the LIBRARY_DIRS in my Makefile.config.

mbronek7 · 2017-12-12T16:14:28Z

How to do it: I tried sth like:

INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include /usr/include/hdf5/serial usr/include/opencv2
but it doesn't work
I am using Ubuntu based distribution of Linux.

shubhamgoel27 · 2017-12-13T08:45:47Z

I did this

LIBRARY_DIRS:= ~/opencv-3.3.0/build/lib

Note: This is not the opencv which gets installed in /usr/include but the original opencv where I used make.

ZubairKhan001 · 2018-02-09T11:15:08Z

run these commands

sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libboost-all-dev

do
make clean
and then do this if your pc has 8 cores, process will be fast

make all -j8
make runtest -j8
make pycaffe

hope it helps.

Kongsea · 2018-02-12T02:46:38Z

@Laowai01 Sorry, the method you mentioned did not work.

Kongsea · 2018-02-12T03:04:23Z

I finally found it's because I uncomment this line in my Makefile.config file:
# OPENCV_VERSION := 3
But I used opencv2 actually.
After comment this line, everything is OK.

Yumin-Sun-00 · 2018-03-06T21:15:49Z

Why you are using opencv2 not opencv3?

Yumin-Sun-00 · 2018-03-06T21:21:19Z

comment opencv = 3 line, it works for me, but who knows what kind of consequences it will have in the future, maybe need to reinstall with cuda8...But, than everything need to reinstall...s..h...i...t....

Kongsea · 2018-03-07T03:39:55Z

My project needs to use opencv2. So I don't have the uncertain consequences as you.

huanglianghua · 2018-06-07T06:18:02Z

I think I finally figured out. For some versions of OpenCV3 (mine OpenCV 3.1.0), there's only a libopencv_world.so (and no others such as libopencv_imgcodecs.so). So I comment the following lines in Makefile:

# ifeq ($(USE_OPENCV), 1)
#       LIBRARIES += opencv_core opencv_highgui opencv_imgproc

#       ifeq ($(OPENCV_VERSION), 3)
#               LIBRARIES += opencv_imgcodecs
#       endif
#
# endif

and add another line below:

LIBRARIES += opencv_world

Everything works fine for me.

eyildiz-ugoe · 2018-07-03T13:19:32Z

The problem is still there, I am using OpenCV 3.4

danpe1327 · 2018-07-20T08:39:11Z

find where you install opencv3.x, then excute:
sudo ldconfig /path/to/libopencv*.so
such as,
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/lib
it works for me .

jmarrr · 2018-12-12T08:23:26Z

I followed the instruction but when I make all I get this error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lextra_component-NOTFOUND

scutzhe · 2019-03-13T10:36:01Z

opencv_imgcodecs is needed and available in opencv 3.0+.
You don't need to link it if using version 2.4.11.
Please refer to line 194-199 in Makefile.

opencv-python 3.4.5.20 don't work on me

angrypiggy · 2019-04-07T08:53:57Z

It took me a week to solve this problem... I want to share my solution with you in detail so fewer people would get stuck with this situation.

In my case, the problem lies in the conflict between opencv2 and opencv3. My ubuntu was installed with opencv 2.4.9 before by someone else, but I didn't manage to find the build file of it and uninstall it. I learned somewhere that 'imgcodecs' only exists in opencv 3+, so I realized that caffe must have used opencv2 and then run into this mistake.

I used cmake-gui to install opencv 3.4.3 (without clicking BUILD_opencv_world), and CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set to usr/local/opencv343 (whatever u like, just set to be separated from opencv2, which was installed in the default path). Then add usr/local/opencv343/lib to 'sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opencv.conf', and add 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH' to 'sudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc'.

Then put 'usr/local/opencv343/include' and 'usr/local/opencv343/lib' behind the '(PYTHON INCLUDE)' and '(PYTHON LIB)' in the makefile.config respectively (before other paths).

This works for me, where my ubuntu has both opencv 2 and 3. Hope it would work for you guys too.

eezywu · 2019-04-21T13:02:22Z

I commented the following code in the file Makefile, and solved the problem.

       ifeq ($(OPENCV_VERSION), 3)
              LIBRARIES += opencv_imgcodecs
       endif

pavelbadin · 2019-09-20T11:45:10Z

If you follow Xilinx the tutorial (https://github.com/Xilinx/Edge-AI-Platform-Tutorials/tree/master/docs/Darknet-Caffe-Conversion), the solution from eezywu works perfectly! Thanks!

avinmaulana · 2020-02-25T03:53:26Z

Found the solution
I use opencv 2 on ubuntu 16.04
on Makefile.config
# OPENCV_VERSION := 3

on Makefile

#       ifeq ($(OPENCV_VERSION), 3)
#               LIBRARIES += opencv_imgcodecs
#       endif

and if on the upper thereis opencv_imagecodecs on LIBRARIES, just comment on the opencv_imagecodecs part only
