Thanks for setting up this new forum.
I’ve been having problems with the install for Visual Studio tutorial for “Installation by Using git-bash (version>=2.14.1) and cmake (version >=3.9.1)”
I kept getting this error:
cmake error: could not create named generator visual studio 16 2019 win64
After reading up on numerous boards, etc, I found a solution that worked for me. If your having trouble getting the installOCV.sh to run properly, two lines need to be changed.
The CMAKE_CONFIG_GENERATOR line should read:
CMAKE_CONFIG_GENERATOR=“Visual Studio 16 2019”
and add -A x64 to the following line after “$CMAKE_CONFIG_GENERATOR”:
cmake -G “$CMAKE_CONFIG_GENERATOR” -A x64 $CMAKE_OPTIONS -DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH="$myRepo"/opencv_contrib/modules -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$myRepo"/install/"$RepoSource" “$myRepo/$RepoSource”
This is necessary because MSVS change the platform naming conventions for MSVS 2019

Hope this helps someone. Perhaps it’s a good time to update the instructions page.
