FindOpenCV.cmake not found with cmake .

[richieej]

Hi there,

I am trying to build shotdetection on my local machine. I am trying to run cmake . and I got this error:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:8 (find_package):
By not providing "FindOpenCV.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "OpenCV", but
CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OpenCV" with any
of the following names:

OpenCVConfig.cmake
opencv-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "OpenCV" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"OpenCV_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "OpenCV"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.

I then copied a FindOpenCV.cmake file from https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/2f4e38c8313ff313de7c41141d56d945d91f47cf/cmake/OpenCVConfig.cmake
upon following instructions from
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8711109/could-not-find-module-findopencv-cmake-error-in-configuration-process

This gives me this error:
CMake Warning at CMakeFiles/FindOpenCV.cmake:166 (message):
Found OpenCV Windows Pack but it has no binaries compatible with your
configuration.

You should manually point CMake variable OpenCV_DIR to your build of OpenCV
library.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:9 (find_package)

Could you please advise what to do?

Thank you.

You can use ccmake (a nicer interface to cmake) and add the path to the OpenCV installation please. I think you need to point to the share directory where all libraries, etc. will be stored.
