Building opencv with OpenGL build error

I get this error from multible targets:

/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libopencv_highgui.so.4.5.5: undefined reference to 'cvSetOpenGlDrawCallback'
/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libopencv_highgui.so.4.5.5: undefined reference to 'cvSetOpenGlContext'
/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libopencv_highgui.so.4.5.5: undefined reference to 'cvUpdateWindow'

cmake command:

It build fine before turning OpenGl on.

however, the 2nd run seems to have produced conflicting defines for HAVE_OPENGL.

can you clean up all cmake / make artefacts, and start all over ?
then, also show the (clean) cmake output, please ?

i just deleted the build folder to start over, is this the part of the output you are asking for?

I just looked thtough the output, is this part helpful?

CMake Warning (dev) at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindOpenGL.cmake:275 (message):
  Policy CMP0072 is not set: FindOpenGL prefers GLVND by default when
  available.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0072" for policy details.  Use the
  cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

  FindOpenGL found both a legacy GL library:

    OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so

  and GLVND libraries for OpenGL and GLX:

    OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libOpenGL.so
    OPENGL_glx_LIBRARY: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX.so

  OpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE has not been set to "GLVND" or "LEGACY", so for
  compatibility with CMake 3.10 and below the legacy GL library will be used.

I made a paste with the full cmake output: cmake.out - Pastebin.com

This is interesting, I also had troubles compiling with OpenGL. It seems like it’s maybe looking for OpenCV C bindings (cvSetOpenGlDrawCallback, cvSetOpenGlContext, cvUpdateWindow) . Did you try to build it by setting OpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE to GLVND?

Yes i did, it removes the warning, but the error persist

At the moment i am trying 4.5.4 just to see

So for version 4.5.4 it again builds without OpenGL.
But with OpenGL i get different linker errors:

/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libopencv_core.so.4.5.4: undefined reference to 'glXGetProcAddressARB'
/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libopencv_core.so.4.5.4: undefined reference to 'glXGetCurrentDisplay'
/usr/bin/ld: ../../lib/libopencv_core.so.4.5.4: undefined reference to 'glXGetCurrentContext'

Do you have libglx-dev installed ?

I do have libglx-dev installed.

try to get the patch:

Not sure how to apply, but i was looking at the highgui files and in modules/highgui/src/window_gtk.cpp if found:

#if (GTK_MAJOR_VERSION == 3) && defined(HAVE_OPENGL)
  #undef HAVE_OPENGL  // no support with GTK3
#endif

So does this mean that OpenGL and GTK 3 are not supported with OpenGL, and i should use GTK 2?

I believe this is the issue…
Since everything is updated to new version, say:

  • Ffmpeg-5
  • Qt-6
  • Gtk-3
  • OpenGL

So, it seems it’s the time for OpenCV to upgrade its compatibility as well…

Within file ./modules/highgui/src/window_gtk.cpp, it seems for current OpenCV, gtk3 is NOT compatible with OpenGL.

#if (GTK_MAJOR_VERSION == 3) && defined(HAVE_OPENGL)
  #undef HAVE_OPENGL  // no support with GTK3
#endif

Do you have a patch for Gtk-3 with OpenGL? From StackOverflow, Gtk-3 should be able to work with OpenGL.

Anyway, my current temporary stupid solution is:
turn OFF WITH_OPENGL with your turn ON WITH_GTK because this GKT is looking for GTK-3.

Cheers

Install libgtk3.0-cil-dev and try again.

It worked for me.
