Can't Compile on Ubuntu #39

Hello,

At the first, Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I can't compile the chapter 8 code.

After command "cmake -D OpenCV_DIR=$OpenCV_DIR ..", show the following message:

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/myfolder/code-master" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

My opencv version is 2.4.8 on Ubuntu 14.04

Regards, Marcelo

You are probably running it from the wrong folder. Make sure you follow the README instructions to create the build folder and run cmake from there. Notice the ".." at the end of the cmake command to say the CMakeLists.txt file is in the parent folder of the current folder. Cmake is giving you an error saying the file isn't there.
