MacOS and OpenCV

Question

Morning SO.

I would like to compile openCV so that it works on capturing a webcam using Qt 4.7. For this purpose, OpenCV must be compiled for a 64-bit system.

So, I tried 3 compilations:

Compiling from source using cmake:
```
sudo cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" . 
```
it works, but I cannot upload the video to a file using cvCreateVideoWriter: the output file is empty.
using macports:
```
 sudo port install opencv 
```
This is not so cool because it depends on gtk2, ffmpeg and libX .. and there is no image.
using compiled infrastructure
The structure is compiled for a 32-bit system only.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I think CMake is the best choice. Your problem with cvCreateVideoWriter is probably due to a missing video codec.

Using opencv- cocoa does the trick!
