Objective:
|
|
This document is intended to get you up and running with an OpenCV Framework on Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
Building the OpenCV.framework:
|
|
In the main directory of the opencv distribution, you will find a shell script called
|
|
'make_frameworks.sh' that does all of the typical unixy './configure && make' stuff required
|
|
to build a universal binary framework. Invoke this script from Terminal.app, wait some minutes
|
|
and you are done.
|
|
|
|
OpenCV is a Private Framework:
|
|
On Mac OS X the concept of Framework bundles is meant to simplify distribution of shared libraries,
|
|
accompanying headers and documentation. There are however to subtly different 'flavours' of
|
|
Frameworks: public and private ones. The public frameworks get installed into the Frameworks
|
|
diretories in /Library, /System/Library or ~/Library and are meant to be shared amongst
|
|
applications. The private frameworks are only distributed as parts of an Application Bundle.
|
|
This makes it easier to deploy applications because they bring their own framework invisibly to
|
|
the user. No installation of the framework is necessary and different applications can bring
|
|
different versions of the same framework without any conflict.
|
|
Since OpenCV is still a moving target, it seems best to avoid any installation and versioning issues
|
|
for an end user. The OpenCV framework that currently comes with this demo application therefore
|
|
is a Private Framework.
|
|
|
|
Use it for targets that result in an Application Bundle:
|
|
Since it is a Private Framework, it must be copied to the Frameworks/ directory of an Application
|
|
Bundle, which means, it is useless for plain unix console applications. You should create a Carbon
|
|
or a Cocoa application target in XCode for your projects. Then add the OpenCV.framework just like
|
|
in this demo and add a Copy Files build phase to your target. Let that phase copy to the Framework
|
|
directory and drop the OpenCV.framework on the build phase (again just like in this demo code).
|
|
|
|
The resulting application bundle will be self contained and if you set compiler option correctly
|
|
(in the "Build" tab of the "Project Info" window you should find 'i386 ppc' for the architectures),
|
|
your application can just be copied to any OS 10.4 Mac and used without further installation.
