That is incorrect sir, I have compiled from source, downloaded from the opencv website. What i do have is an old computer, which has run opencv versions in the past. I have had opencv 2, 3, and now 4.
In the last 4 years, I have not done much with opencv, but was looking to get back into it. it would seem much has changed in that time. I was hopeful old programs I wrote would be immediately compatable, such that I could just add some features, and continue. It would seem some of the naming conventions have changed. … In any event,
I have done a clean install using the instructions provided. libjasper was the only package I could not locate, I do not think this is critical. I had build success from the source files. My issue only pertains to when I try to build files in g++.
