How to build & run

Android and iOS

Run init.sh script from a scripts folder or do the following steps manually:

  1. Download OpenCV for Android and iOS: https://opencv.org/releases/
  2. Copy or create symlinks:
    • opencv2.framework to native_opencv/ios
    • OpenCV-android-sdk/sdk/native/jni/include to native_opencv
    • Contents of OpenCV-android-sdk/sdk/native/libs/** to native_opencv/android/src/main/jniLibs/**

Windows

Run init_windows.ps1 PowerShell script from a scripts folder or do the following steps manually:

  1. Download OpenCV for Windows: https://opencv.org/releases/
  2. Unpack it. Set env. variable OpenCV_DIR to unpacked ...\opencv\build folder
  3. Create a hard link from native_opencv\ios\Classes\native_opencv.cpp to native_opencv_windows\windows\native_opencv.cpp
  4. Make sure native_opencv_windows\windows\CMakeLists.txt contains correct .dll names (OpenCV_DEBUG_DLL_NAME,OpenCV_RELEASE_DLL_NAME)

macOS

Before doing anything else, you need to download OpenCV source code and build a framework by running opencv/platforms/apple/build_xcframework.py script.

Run init_macos.sh script from a scripts folder or do the following steps manually:

  1. Create a hard link from native_opencv/ios/Classes/native_opencv.cpp to native_opencv_macos/macos/Classes/native_opencv.cpp
  2. Copy opencv2.xcframework to native_opencv/macos

Linux

Before doing anything else, you need to download OpenCV source code and build libraries by following the official tutorial.

After making a build, set up an environmental variable OpenCV_DIR to the build's folder.

Run init_linux.sh script from a scripts folder or do the following steps manually:

  1. Create a hard link from native_opencv/ios/Classes/native_opencv.cpp to native_opencv_linux/linux/native_opencv.cpp
