Opencv-Compilation

Dear All,

Is it possible to edit the available open CV source code and recompile as per requirement? I just commented one part in video writer class and recompiled. But configuration not happens. Is there any steps to follow to edit and recompile?

well, if the code is inside the opencv libs, you have to rebuild and re-install (!!) those (not only your own code) to see any change.

can you be more precise, on what you did there ?

Sure, for example video writer class is compressing video and saves in AVI or mp4 format as output file. In-case i want to add some extra formats , is it possible to add my own module and recompile the source code with new features?

you still don’t tell us, what you’re doing (as in: exact steps taken)

sure. you’ll have to use the same folder structure and supply a CmakeLists.txt, re-running cmake should pick it up then

hmm, idk, how you plan to achieve that.
the videoio module mainly dispatches such things to “backends”, like ffmpeg or gstreamer
