Cross compilation openCV application - c++

Question

Hi guys I am doing an application in c++ for ARM. I have a application prototype which I compiled with cross compilation and it works very nice in the ARM. What I did was this:
First I got the .o file like this
arm-linux-g++ -c PrototipoTRU.cpp
Then I got the .exe like this (My application use thread)
arm-linux-g++ PrototipoTRU.o -o tru2 -pthread
and everything works perfect.
My problem is when I tried to compile an .cpp file which use OpenCV. I tried that:
First I tried to got the .o:
arm-linux-g++ -c camera.cpp
That does not work, I got this output:
IPCamera.cpp:5:30: error: opencv2/opencv.hpp: No such file or directory
IPCamera.cpp:6:39: error: opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp: No such file or directory
IPCamera.cpp:7:39: error: opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp: No such file or directory
IPCamera.cpp:11:22: error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory
IPCamera.cpp:16: error: 'cv' is not a namespace-name
IPCamera.cpp:16: error: expected namespace-name before ';' token
IPCamera.cpp: In function 'int main(int, char**)':
IPCamera.cpp:46: error: 'cv' has not been declared
IPCamera.cpp:46: error: expected ';' before 'cap'
IPCamera.cpp:52: error: 'Display' was not declared in this scope

IPCamera.cpp:63: error: 'cv' has not been declared
IPCamera.cpp:63: error: expected ';' before 'frame'
IPCamera.cpp:66: error: 'cv' has not been declared
IPCamera.cpp:66: error: 'CV_WINDOW_NORMAL' was not declared in this scope
IPCamera.cpp:68: error: 'cvMoveWindow' was not declared in this scope
IPCamera.cpp:73: error: 'CV_WND_PROP_FULLSCREEN' was not declared in this scope
IPCamera.cpp:73: error: 'CV_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN' was not declared in this scope
IPCamera.cpp:73: error: 'cvSetWindowProperty' was not declared in this scope
IPCamera.cpp:79: error: 'cap' was not declared in this scope
IPCamera.cpp:82: error: 'frame' was not declared in this scope
IPCamera.cpp:89: error: 'cv' has not been declared
IPCamera.cpp:92: error: 'cv' has not been declared
So it seem that there is some problem with the link, however if do this:
g++ -c IPCamera.cpp
I got the .o file, but obviously when I get the .exe it does not work in the ARM . What I do not undestand is why if I compile an application without opencv, like the first example, the arm-linux-g++ works propertly and when I try to compile the openCV application no.
I tried to compiler also like this:
arm-linux-g++ -c IPCamera.cpp `pkg-config opencv --libs --cflags`
but is the same result, however if I do this:
g++ -c IPCamera.cpp `pkg-config opencv --libs --cflags`
It works. So I guess that is a path problem but I do not have idea how I can solved it.
Someone can help me??
Thank you guys

Answer 1

It seems that you need to set include path to your cross OpenCV installation:
arm-linux-g++ -I/path/to/opencv/include IPCamera.cpp -o tru2
When you call pkg-config it reports settings for you host system not for your arm cross toolchain.

Answer 2

As #dennisfen suggest you may need to set include path as well as the library path to your cross OpenCV with the libraries you are using as follows:
arm-linux-g++ -I/path/to/opencv/include -L/path/to/library IPCamera.cpp -o tru2 -lopencv_core -pthread
