Message: 9919    I think currently there is no.

But you may try to build the library using blackfin uclinux toolchain.

I give it a try, you need first add in config.sub machine type "bfin" to make it recongnize "bfin-uclinux".

For many of the code using autoconf, this should be a quick fix.

Then ./configure --host=bfin-uclinux. However, it looks bfin-uclinux-g++ cannot compile it correctly.

If it is really a toolchain issue, you may report bug to the toolchain.

Message: 14825    OpenCV compiles succesfully!!!

I compiled opencv-0.9.9 on 2006R1-RC2 toolchain and same release uClinux.

There is link to opencv-0.9.9 source:

  prdownloads.sourceforge.net/opencvlibrary/opencv-0.9.9.tar.gz?download

Now i need to increase its perfomance, but still dont know how can i do that:)

Has anybody some suggestions?

Thanks,

Message: 15119    Hi Laimonas,

I copied the include files from folder "cv" and "cxcore" to my own folder, "opencv-0.9.9". Then create the source file "bf_edge.c" in the same directory. When I do a compile using the following command: bfin-uclinux-g++ -Wall -Wl,-elf2flt -o bf_edge bf_edge.c -I ./ -L./ -lpthread -lcv -lcxcore. I get error. Please see below:

[blackfinuser@mandrivalinux-00 opencv-0.9.9]$ bfin-uclinux-g++ -Wall -Wl,-elf2flt -o bf_edge bf_edge.c -I ./ -L./ -lpthread -lcv -lcxcore

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[blackfinuser@mandrivalinux-00 opencv-0.9.9]$

Also, I try to delete the -lcv and -lcxcore. Result is:

[blackfinuser@mandrivalinux-00 opencv-0.9.9]$ bfin-uclinux-g++ -Wall -Wl,-elf2flt -o bf_edge bf_edge.c -I ./ -L./ -lpthread

And I can see that the output files are gdb, elf2flt and elf format. May I know how to use them?

Please help. Thanks.

You get error: "opt/uClinux/bfin-uclinux/lib/gcc/bfin-uclinux/3.4.5/../../../../bfin-uclinux/bin/ld.real: cannot find -lcv"

It means, that linker did not find file libcv.a in your folder. This file is in "opencv-0.9.9/cv/src/.libs" folder, also you need libcxcore.a library file. This file is in "opencv-0.9.9/cxcore/src/.libs" folder.

In your folder you should have all header files from "opencv-0.9.9/cxcore/include" and "opencv-0.9.9/opencv-0.9.9/cv/include" folders.

After compiling and linking you should get file "bf_edge". This file is your executable file.

Thanks for reply.

May I know what is the .a file? I look into folder opencv-0.9.9/cv/src/ and opencv-0.9.9/cxcore/src/ directory. I coudn't find any.

Message: 15208    zhichien:

did you use "configure" script with parameters --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=bfin-uclinux

like this:

"./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=bfin-uclinux"

or just run "./configure" ?

I ask this question, because in error i see

"/opt/uClinux/bfin-uclinux/lib/gcc/bfin-uclinux/3.4.5/../../../../bfin-uclinux/bin/ld.real: skipping incompatible .//libcv.a when searching for -lcv" linker says, that it skips incompatible library.

Can you list all files, that exist in your "opencv" folder? Is libcv.a and libcxcore.a and bf_edge.c in the same "opencv" folder?

i ran this command: "./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=bfin-uclinux"

and 'libcv.a and libcxcore.a and bf_edge.c" all are in the same folder.

Will the toolchain version affect the outcome? I'm using 06R1.

i used 06R1 toolchain and now i use 06R2 toolchain. "bf_edge.c" example compiles succesfully on both toolchains. On my host i use Kubuntu 6.06 Linux distro. Sorry, i can not understand why you get such error using OpenCV.
