Make: fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now

executive · March 15, 2025, 8:47am

I am having a really hard time compiling opencv. I’ve been at this for hours.
cmake seems to complete fine, but make fails with many errors. If anybody could help me figure out the next step I would be really grateful please. I’m doing everything from a v-env.

why bother with sth that outdated ? why even build from src, if it’s python ?

please consider NOT doing any of this & instead try a plain:

pip install opencv-contrib-python

I couldn’t get FFMPEG to compile with 3.4 or 4.0.
Possibly related issue:

I was just following instructions

will this allow opencv libraries to be used outside of python?
