Installing OpenCV on Ubuntu 12.04

I am trying to install OpenCV 2.4.2 on Ubuntu and am confusing errors as shown below:

[ 11%] Building CXX object modules/highgui/CMakeFiles/opencv_highgui.dir/src/window_gtk.cpp.o In file included from /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gasyncqueue.h:30:0, from /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib.h:32, from /usr/local/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdktypes.h:32, from /usr/local/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkcolor.h:4, from /usr/local/include/gtk-2.0/gdk/gdk.h:30, from /usr/local/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h:31, from /opt/opencv/OpenCV-2.4.2/modules/highgui/src/window_gtk.cpp:48: /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gthread.h:233:27: error: variable or field 'g_static_mutex_init' declared void /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gthread.h:233:27: error: 'GStaticMutex' was not declared in this scope /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gthread.h:233:41: error: 'mutex' was not declared in this scope /usr/local/include/glib-2.0/glib/gthread.h:233:41: note: suggested alternative: /usr/include/tbb/mutex.h:48:7: note: 'tbb::mutex'

I checked all the dependencies and installed them as shown below:

 sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff4-dev libjasper-dev libopenexr-dev cmake python-dev python-numpy python-tk libtbb-dev libeigen2-dev yasm libfaac-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev sphinx-common texlive-latex-extra libv4l-dev libdc1394-22-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev

I also added the following paths to CMakeCache.txt

 CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE:STRING=-O3 -DNDEBUG -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/ -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/include/

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sid

Edit: I switched to QT according to the comment and let me get rid of gtk by including in it what I had to manually insert into CMakeCache.txt. But I was still getting the installation error (possibly due to glib being turned on), so I disabled GSTREAMER in CMAKE, and now I can install opencv. Is this work possible?

Curiously, you need v2.4.2 when v2.4.9 is the latest version. In any case, following the steps, the configuration report is displayed before the make step, which looks like this:

Check this report for all missing libraries and install these dependencies.

I managed to create the source code and skip your error on ubuntu 12.04 by installing the dependencies you listed:

If you do not need certain compilation options, you should be able to install OpenCV directly from Synaptic (version 2.3.1); libraries are already in the default repository.

If you need a newer version, you can also find some PPAs with pre-compiled OpenCV, for example https://launchpad.net/~yjwong/+archive/opencv2 or https://launchpad.net/~limparissoft/+archive/opencv -ppa

You can find more PPAs at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=opencv
