[Note]

Note

One additional file that starts with "ippicv" (integrated performance primitives) will be automatically downloaded during the cmake portion of the build procedure. This download is specific to the system architecture.

Installation of opencv

If you downloaded the optional modules, unpack them now: 

tar -xf ../opencv_contrib-4.7.0.tar.gz

Install opencv by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr      \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release       \
      -DENABLE_CXX11=ON                \
      -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF           \
      -DWITH_XINE=ON                   \
      -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF                \
      -DENABLE_PRECOMPILED_HEADERS=OFF \
      -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON            \
      -DBUILD_WITH_DEBUG_INFO=OFF      \
      -Wno-dev  ..                     &&
make

The package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

-DWITH_XINE=ON: This option instructs the make procedure to use xine-lib-1.2.13.

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

-DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../opencv_contrib-4.7.0/modules: instructs the build system to build additional modules.
