Unable to link OpenGL

Hi All,

I’m having trouble understanding why isn’t compiling opencv including OpenGL and Qt with it. (I have no reason to think this btw, this book is not making separate sections to install, instead it just uses libraries without any installs, it just compiles the openCV library and that’s it).

I’m on Intel macOS Big Sur, I installed opencv 4.5.4 using brew.
I will include my CMakeLists, followed by getBuildInformation(), then lastly an error message.

Here is my CMake:

# cmake version
    cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.0)

#project name
    project (myProject)

# Opencv Package required
    find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)
    MESSAGE("OpenCV version : ${OpenCV_VERSION}")

    include_directories(${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIR})
    link_directories(${OpenCV_LIB_DIR})

# generate our new executable
    add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} main.cpp)
    target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${OpenCV_LIBS})

Here is the getBuildInformation() result:

Next, here is an error message from me trying to use Qt:

libc++abi: terminating with uncaught exception of type cv::Exception: OpenCV(4.5.4) /tmp/opencv-20220103-53048-1yv4jw7/opencv-4.5.4/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp:1227: error: (-213:The function/feature is not implemented) The library is compiled without QT support in function 'createButton'

I can’t have an error message for OpenGL but it’s also not working. I can’t use (compile) any OpenGL variables or functions.

Any help would seriously be appreciated. I think what I’m lacking is in my CMake file but too rookie to figure out what it is.

Hi,
please update your code with opencv master

3

I’m unable to update my code because I used homebrew to install. So I’m using their precompiled binaries.
I managed to #include GLUT into my .cpp file.
but now upon compiling my code I get many warnings saying OpenGL API is deprecated and multiple errors caused by OpenGL functions that lead to “Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64”.

4

Can you use git clone and cmake instead of homebrew?

5

I did use git clone just finally. I didn’t initially because there was a dependency conflict when I was compiling opencv. I did now and thankfully it worked. Now my issue is cmake not configuring Qt or OpenGL.

Thank you for all your help :slight_smile:
