problem installing opencv on windows

[fransiskapw]

I get error when trying to install on windows 7 64 bit python 27

Here are the error screenshot i got:

I can install node-gyp just fine, and also other node modules. I also have opencv installed, which i tested with python

Any idea?

Yeah, I haven't written the build target for windows.

Honestly, I have zero experience with compiling stuff on windows - I don't imagine it would be hard to create, but I don't know enough to do it myself and I haven't got a windows machine to play with it on.

A couple of people have talked to me about adding this, but I haven't heard of anyone finishing it - I'd love to add this if someone gets it working.

Take a look at my branch, I have included the .pc file, bindings.gyp includes, and instructions for installing on Windows.

@notcoffeetable this is badass! Is it ready to be pulled in? I haven't been able to test on windows, but would love to add this for the people that want to do windows stuff.

@peterbraden I haven't verified if my branch still builds on Mac/Unix yet. I have a couple readme updates for people on x64 I need to push, after its been verified. I still need to write a proper gyp target for windows.

@notcoffeetable Well, I tested it and it does build and pass npm test on Mac OS 10.6.8. I also took the liberty of updating it to the latest from @peterbraden master branch of the code. notcoffeetable#1

@notcoffeetable This works well. Thank you so much.

[notcoffeetable]

I was using it for a work project and we ended up dropping it so I hadn't done anymore work on it. I'm glad it's satisfactory.

What did you wind up using if I may ask?

[notcoffeetable]

We weren't really using opencv for its most powerful features, we really
wanted to find a way to split a video source. In the end we moved to C# and
some virtual cameras.

Hi guys,

I have recently tried to install opencv-node with the version of notcoffeetable and here is where it went wrong:

My opencv.pc seems well configured and pkg-config is set to work with the pkgconfigpath to the file.

Any clues guys??

Thanks,

Hi,

guys I have no idea why it worked but it finally builded so i am happy :)

I noticed that if I mess up the pkg_config_path i get the same message so i guess make i can say make sure u have the right pkg_config_path + making sure u verify x64 and x86 build too

U should also try npm install instead of npm install opencv as its displaying an error...

Several mistake in the *.js examples and the test files with a link to images. Ex: instead of ./mona.jpg, it should be ../mona.jpg.

I got the same error message like MasaMune. I dont know why.
Maybe my opencv.pc file isnt correct? What do you guys think?
