To build OpenCV, I ran this in the terminal in my ~/opencv/build directory :
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/opencv-3.0.0/build -D PYTHON2_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin
-D PYTHON2_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/Frameworks/Python.framework/Headers -D PYTHON2_PACKAGES_PATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=/path/to/opencv_contrib-3.0.0/modules ../
But no matter what happens, I see this error in the Traceback : (Could NOT find PythonInterp:)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named numpy.distutils
-- Could NOT find PythonInterp: Found unsuitable version "2.7.11",
but required is at least "3.4" (found /usr/local/bin/python)
-- Could NOT find PythonInterp: Found unsuitable version "2.7.11",
but required is at least "3.2" (found /usr/local/bin/python)
Further down the line, this shows up
--
-- Python 2:
-- Interpreter: /usr/local/bin/python2.7 (ver 2.7.11)
--
-- Python 3:
-- Interpreter: NO
--
-- Python (for build): /usr/local/bin/python2.7
--
-- Java:
-- ant: NO
-- JNI:
The correct output should look somewhat like this: correct Python Interp output
I have tried everything, but this keeps coming up! In essence, I cannot build OpenCV properly, and hence cannot install it properly.
