I have pushed some patches from a user on IRC to the playground branch that enable updating opencv to latest upstream. There are some unresolved issues that need some more attention:
1. Both OpenEXR and protobuf get captive builds via bundled sources instead of using the system libraries. OpenEXR may not be up-to-date enough on Cygwin, although I haven't spotted any attempt to detect it during configuration. The bundled protobuf is older than the one on Cygwin and has a (probably irrelevant for this case) CVE pending. 2. The use of non-free codecs seems to be switched on, I have not checked how to stop that. https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/opencv.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/playground Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ SD adaptation for Waldorf microQ V2.22R2: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#WaldorfSDada
