rst_parser module not found when compiling matlab binding

[anuppari]

I'm trying to follow the instructions here http://seevisionc.blogspot.com/2014/03/compiling-opencv-30-with-matlab-support.html for compiling with matlab bindings. In cmake, I get errors that the rst_parser is not found. I see the hdr_parser module is in the modules/python/src2 folder but I don't see any rst_parser. Is this a separate python module? If so, where is it available ( a quick google search didn't provide any results)?

@anuppari, rst documentation has been removed from OpenCV along with rst_parser script.
You can try one of the following solutions:

• remove rst_parser dependency from Matlab binding
• take older version of OpenCV sources (before this commit)

It looks like gen_matlab.py in the matlab module is still heavily dependent on rst_parser. What can be used to replace it?

Could someone drop a comment on this issue, when it is solved, over in the openCV user forum in the comment area of this thread, please? I feel to still be too much beginner for bothering you here at github, because I could only mention problems I found, but not constructively add to the discussion or problem solving. Thanks to all of you who work on openCV, you are just great! Talby

if someone downloaded the earlier version of rst_parser, could you share it somewhere? i can no longer retrieve that file from old commits

@yifita @talbym You can download rst_parser here https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/blob/d01bedbc61b7febbb0d35a5978efb4c30709af5d/modules/java/generator/rst_parser.py.
I downloaded and put it in my local corresponding folder, according to this solution [http://code.opencv.org/issues/4175]. And it works

temporary solution can be found above and PR for adding it back is suggested for the moment :)

PR merged and build just fine now! You can close this issue down!
