Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I got this error message when I trying to CMake on Mac platform.

Determining if the include file linux/videodev.h exists failed with the following output:

Please advice. Thank you.

More useful details are required

[datomnurdin]

What kind of details u need? Below are my steps until I produced the error message

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git
cd opencv
git checkout 3.1.0

/** output **/

cd ~/opencv
mkdir build
cd build

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
    -D PYTHON2_PACKAGES_PATH=~/.virtualenvs/cv/lib/python2.7/site-packages \
    -D PYTHON2_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.10/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin \
    -D PYTHON2_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers \
    -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules

/** output **/
sudo CMake build

/** error message **/

Determining if the include file linux/videodev2.h exists failed with the following output

It is just configuration check, they should not fail CMake.

How to solve the problem?

[aypee19]

I have solved it !
It's explained here : http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/07/20/install-opencv-3-0-and-python-3-4-on-ubuntu/
You have to write INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF instead of INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON in your cmake command.

[nirmineigue]

i have the same error as you, where did you change the code exactly?

[nirmineigue]

@AxelPuig response please

[aypee19]

When you write the cmake command, you have to use this one :

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \
    -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF \
    -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
    -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib/modules \
    -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..

There is written -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF instead of -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON

That's how I solved the issue...

[nirmineigue]

thank you @AxelPuig it works now

[Hosm]

try this : 👍
sudo rm /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL.so; sudo ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL.so.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libEGL.so

If you are getting an error related to stdlib.h: No such file or directory during either the cmake or make phase of this tutorial you’ll also need to include the following option to CMake: -D ENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF . In this case I would suggest deleting your build directory, re-creating it, and then re-running CMake with the above option included. This will resolve the stdlib.h error.

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \ -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local \ -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \ -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF \ -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=~/opencv_contrib-3.1.0/modules \ -D PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=~/.virtualenvs/cv/bin/python \ -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -D ENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF ..

for anyone run into this thread because of "Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!"
if you are cross-compiling for arm64 with g++4.8 or low, this error would occur because of ARM_NEON issue, try upgrade the toolchain

Wow, I updated my g++ from 4.8 to 5.4. Then the problem was solved, thanks.

I've just solved it by using sudo -s before run cmake.
