Installation of opencv

If the optional Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) package has been downloaded, put it in place so the cmake script does not try to download it again: 

ipp_file=../ippicv_linux_20151201.tgz             &&
ipp_hash=$(md5sum $ipp_file | cut -d" " -f1)      &&
ipp_dir=3rdparty/ippicv/downloads/linux-$ipp_hash &&

mkdir -p $ipp_dir &&
cp $ipp_file $ipp_dir

Install opencv by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr      \
      -DWITH_XINE=ON                   \
      -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF                \
      -DENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF \
      -Wno-dev  ..                     &&
make

The package does not come with an operable test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install               &&
mv -v /usr/share/OpenCV/3rdparty/lib/libippicv.a /usr/lib &&
rm -rv /usr/share/OpenCV/3rdparty

Command Explanations

-DWITH_XINE=ON: This option instructs the make procedure to use xine-lib-1.2.6.

-DENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF: This option is needed for compatibiiity with gcc-6.1 and later.

-DWITH_IPP=ON: This option instructs the make procedure to use the downloaded IPP package.

mv -v /usr/share/OpenCV/3rdparty/lib/libippicv.a /usr/lib: This command move a library to a location where it can be found.
