How to use OpenCV for Maemo5 app?

[pta0007]

I could install OpenCV package in linux, but got no idea how to use it in scratchbox to build app for maemo?

I found some related info from here: http://www.qt-apps.org/content/show....?content=89995. Also, I found some useful links introducing qt+opencv, such as http://www.qt-apps.org/content/show....ting-qwidgets/, which are exactly what I want. But the problem is there are opencv/...h header files in qt4.6.2, but when i compiled the program in scratchbox, header files cant be found. So I wonder:

1,scratchbox is using qt4.5, is this the reason it does not contain opencv library? and I need to update it to 4.6.2?
2,whether the qt program intergrated with opencv compatible within scrathbox?
3,how could I run opencv app on the maemo device? is it possible?

Anyone could offer me more detail about it?

Cheers!

The link is broken.

How did you come to such a wrong conclusion? OpenCV is not part of Qt and is not ported to Maemo 5 yet. You have to port opencv library to Maemo platform and then install it both in scratchbox and on the device.
Links you should start with:
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/opencv
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/opencv/

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain clearly. I mean I could use the header file such as opencv/cv.h when writing a program with Qt Creator, which lead me confused about opencv has been ported to qt?

Are you using Qt Creator inside scratchbox?

Are you using Qt Creator inside scratchbox?

Of course not. How could it be possible?

I use Qt Creator on linux, and want to compile the same program in scratchbox, but failed.

This is possible, but requires reconfiguration of Xephyr and some other stuff. In my opinion it doesn't worth to be done.

I don't know if tells anything to you, but scratchbox is a chroot environment.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
Meaning that if you install OpenCV on the desktop it's not visible in scratchbox. Opposite is also true.

Could you tell me how to port and install opencv library to the device?

Were you able to compile
http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/opencv
inside scratchbox?

I downloaded the package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/open...encv-unix/2.0/, and was able to compile it in scrathbox, both in x86 and armel mode. I have finished the program on the emulator, and it works well. Now how to install the opencv on the device becomes my problem.

Sorry, but I don't understand you. Any way there is no difference between x86 target and device. Since you've manage it to work in x86 target do the same on the device and it will solve your problem.

When I copied the whole opencv package to the device in the dir: MyDocs, and tried to install it. I used the command "configure", but the x term showed: Permission denied. I was already under the root. Why is it?

You have to build Debian package
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html
from source using dpkg-buildpackage
http://man.cx/dpkg-buildpackage%281%29
and install it on the device.
OpenCV source you've downloaded from the project page doesn't contain debian directory necessary for producing Debian package.

I copied ithe debian drectory from other project. But it seems not work.

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/maemo/Desktop/opencv-2.0.0.orig'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/maemo/Desktop/opencv-2.0.0.orig'
make: [clean] Error 2 (ignored)

dpkg-buildpackage: failure: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

and this is the debian/rule file

clean: 
	dh_testdir
	dh_testroot
	rm -f build-stamp configure-stamp

	# Add here commands to clean up after the build process.
	-$(MAKE) clean

	dh_clean

How to solve this problem then?

From which project? Which command are you using to build a package?

From which project? Which command are you using to build a package?

The project I created from MADDE, using

mad pscreate -t simple opencv_2.0.0.orig

,(I used "opencv_2.0.0.orig" as the project name, trying to make the debian file usable by the opencv package)and I use

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

to build the package.
