Raspberry Pi 2: Failed to execute JavaCPP Builder: Could not parse opencv2/core/types_c.h

[martinstuder]

Trying to build on a Raspberry Pi 2 yields the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.bytedeco:javacpp:0.10:build (generate-sources) on project opencv: Failed to execute JavaCPP Builder: Could not parse "opencv2/core/types_c.h": File does not exist -> [Help 1]

We need to run the build script for the native libraries first. Are you having any troubles doing that with bash cppbuild.sh install?

[martinstuder]

The build script does not support linux-arm at the moment. Running ccmake, make, etc manually seems to work fine though.

[saudet]

Right, we have to add a case for that in the scripts. Would you be able to modify them in such a way that they run fine for linux-arm?

[martinstuder]

I get it compiling if I run ccmake but I have been unable so far to extract a single cmake call that does the job ...

[saudet]

The one for linux-x86 without CC and CXX doesn't work? What happens?

Hi Samuel,

Probably this is kind of a duplicated post but I am trying to get javacpp-presets installed on a raspberry pi.
I have some experience with maven (not much with compiling opencv) so perhaps if you point me in the right direction I could help.
Any help or information you can provide will be very appreciated!

Many thanks!
Kriche

[saudet]

We're going to need to provide a linux-arm case in the cppbuild.sh script file. Is this something you would have some time to tackle? It would be very much appreciated.

[kriche]

Yes, I'll take a look at cppbuild.sh and see what can I do.
Cheers

[Alessandruino]

Hei guys...same problem here... @saudet any solution? @martinstuder can you explain how you did to build manually?

thanks a lot...Ale

[saudet]

@Alessandruino We just need to modify the scripts to support the linux-arm platform, that's all.

[Alessandruino]

@saudet thanks for the fast reply... martinstuder was talking about a workaround using ccmake but i don't get how to use it to compile the files cause there is not a cmakelist file...sorry for the newbie questions...

[Alessandruino]

@saudet nevermind... i'll wait for the script fix :) thanks again

[saudet]

@Alessandruino Well, first, somebody has to do it. Would you be interested in giving it a try?

[Alessandruino]

Ya... I would be interested in learning by doing in this case... But I don t know where to start... I m pretty new to this... I opened the CPPbuild.sh file and we miss the Linux-arm platform specification... Don t know what to add...

[saudet]

Copy the entry for linux-x86 and figure out what we need to modify to have it compile. That's about it!

[Alessandruino]

Thanks for the pointer.. I m figuring how the script works first... And what it does... I built opencv for Linux-arm so I m replacing with the cmake I used in that case... Hope to make it worky ;)

[saudet]

Good! Keep me updated 👍

[Alessandruino]

@saudet finally i got opencv/cppbuild.sh script to work for linux-arm ! yay ! I forked the project, modified it and created a pull request... up to you the merging... if you want i can send you the javacv,javacpp,javacpp-presets/opencv bin files for linux-arm armv6 instructions (raspi) for 0.10 . Right Now i'm compiling for raspi2(armv7 instructions) for 0.10 too...

[saudet]

@Alessandruino Great news! If you could send a pull request for that on the master branch, I'll merge it in!

As for the binaries, I was thinking you could deploy them to the Maven Central. If you don't have an account with them already, check it out:
http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html
Then I think we need to contact the admins over there to add you to the group, so let me know your JIRA account name once you're done, and we'll try to contact them. If that sounds too complicated, let me know, but it would help a lot if you could. Thanks!

[IanHudsonNetpremacy]

@Alessandruino has linux-arm v6 & v7 build configuration made it to the master branch.

Kind regards,
Ian.
