QUIRC error in OpenCV 4

C++
,
1

Hey all of you,

I use OpenCV 4 and I try to decode a QR code using . The code compiles successfully but when I run the executable there is an error in the prompt:

Library QUIRC is not linked. No decoding is performed. Take it to the OpenCV repository.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I appreciated any kinds of help.

Regards, s0nc

which version, exactly ?
did you buil that locally ?

error means, that libquirc was not linked against the objdetect module, when building the opencv libs
(there isnt anything you can do, when building your program)

I use version 4.2.0 and build OpenCV locally on my machine.

It seems I have to build OpenCV again which is no problem so far. The code I used comes from the official website and is:

cd ..


mkdir OpenCV

OpenCV_Home_DIR=$(pwd)

sudo apt -y update
sudo apt -y upgrade

sudo apt -y remove x264 libx264-dev

sudo apt -y install build-essential checkinstall cmake pkg-config yasm

Do I have to add something like -D WITH_QUIRC=ON \ to the cmake section?

this should be on by default

I recently build OpenCV with the mentioned tag again but it did not work. When I tried to find the source of the error I only compiled this in the main:

QRCodeDetector qrDec;

This gained no errors. When I added

string str = qrDec.detectAndDecode(image, box, recImage);

It compiles without errors but when I run the executable the error occurs.

On Linux need to define -DBUILD_QUIRC=ON -DQUIRC=ON when building OpenCV, tested with 4.7 release. Unless you define BUILD_ - it will be searched under /usr/lib/*
