Setting up your development environment

Before using the vivaVideo base project, you need to install the OpenCV library and CMake tool for your platform:

After installing OpenCV and CMake, clone the vivaVideo repository:

Assuming you cloned the git repository in a vivaVideo folder inside your home folder:

(username is your system username)

###CMake

Open the CMake GUI and point the source code to your working copy path:

e.g. /Users/username/vivaVideo

Point CMake's build folder (i.e. "Where to build the binaries") to a build folder path:

e.g. /Users/username/vivaVideo/build/

CMake will ask for permission to create the build folder for you if it doesn't exist. Click yes.

Click the Configure button and specify the generator for this project (e.g. Xcode, Visual Studio, make files, ... etc)

Point the OpenCV_DIR variable to your installed OpenCV folder containing these files:

Click the Configure button again and make sure CMake finds your OpenCV installation.

Click the Generate button.

if everything went OK you will see the following messages

Project name: vivaVideo

Configuring done

Generating done

Your built project is now created inside your build folder.
