ok. I thought there was a CMake variable like CMAKE_C_COMPILER_PATH. I use this
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_do_I_use_a_different_compiler.3F
(method3).

I have just successfully compiled but without FFMPEG too, that is the problem.

but first, I will ask you some question:

Why you need to add the link path /opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-
4.7-2013.01-20130125_linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib?

Why you use OpenCV2.2? The lastest stable release is OpenCV2.4.3.

You see, I'm a newbie about cross compiling, I'll have to study concepts of
cross-compilation, I thought it was easy.

Re: Hard Floating Point Question

2013-02-12 Thread Derek Rollend
I added the lib path explicitly so I knew that arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ was
definitely linking against the correct hard float libraries.  Perhaps this
is unnecessary, but I just wanted to be sure.  I've been using OpenCV 2.2
because that was the version that was known to compile successfully from
that TI wiki page you sent earlier.  I am now trying with 2.4.0, I'll let
you know if I succeed.

It's definitely not easy.  All the tools seem to be there, it's piecing
everything together correctly that is the tough part. Push on!

Re: Hard Floating Point Question

2013-02-12 Thread Christophe Lyon
I'd say that adding
-L/opt/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.01-20130125_linux/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib
is unnecessary as gcc's driver should be able to find its own
libraries.

Regarding your problems with ffmpeg, I'm sorry that I don't know how
cmake works, but after spending some time trying to understand why
cross-building fails, here are my remarks:

- using 'make VERBOSE=1' will show you the exact commands used
- from what I can see, cmake manages to find the full path to the
compiler and calls it using this path
- installing packages such as libavcodec-dev installs the version for
your host, not for your ARM target
- therefore, you should add ffmpeg to OpenCV, maybe using the 3rdparty
directory, but I don't know how it is supposed to be used
- on my system, I have noticed that cmake says 'Could NOT find JPEG),
then "Media I/O: JPEG: libjpeg (ver 62)" and I can see that g++ is
called with -I/3rdparty/libjpeg, which is confusing
- similarly, it looks like cmake is calling pkg-config which most
probably queries the host, not the target FS
- you have to make sure that the build process will find or build all
the dependencies for ARM, which probably means it has to build ffmpeg
- I don't know if all these are peculiarities of cmake or OpenCV, but
it makes me wonder whether OpenCV is really supporting
cross-compilation?
- did you ask OpenCV community?

Sorry to ask more questions :-)

Christophe.

Re: aarch64 does not run

Thanks, I install ia32-lib and now it works, but what a poor error message.
To bad i would at least tell you what file wasn't found.
