nycopencv

If you just wanna get started type:

mkdir /opt/nycopencv
git clone https://github.com/akellehe/nycopencv.git /opt/nycopencv/nycopencv
mkdir /opt/nycopencv/build
cd /opt/nycopencv/build
cmake /opt/nycopencv/nycopencv
make

Reasoning:

You should keep your source at

/opt/nycopencv/nycopencv

It's a good practice to keep the build separate, so to build the package make a separate directory;

/opt/nycopencv/build

You can build the package by cd-ing to there and running

cmake /opt/nycopencv/nycopencv; make

If you have a mac

You'll see something along the lines of

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

  OpenCVConfig.cmake
  opencv-config.cmake

Get homebrew! http://brew.sh/

Install it and then get cmake

brew install cmake

Once you've installed cmake get the opencv libraries (takes a second)

brew install homebrew/science/opencv

Then you can build normally.
