CMake OpenCV installation issue

Question

This is driving me nuts for the past three hours. I simply want to install CMake and then install OpenCV 3.1, but I am getting an Unsupported protocol error (please see below).

I installed CMake 3.4.3. like this:

wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.4/cmake-3.4.3.tar.gz
tar xf cmake-3.4.3.tar.gz
cd cmake-3.4.3
./configure
make
sudo make install

Then ran this:

./bootstrap --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

It goes wrong when I run this command in the installation process for OpenCV:

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..

This is the exact error I am getting:

CMake Warning at 3rdparty/ippicv/downloader.cmake:56 (message):

So apparently theres is a hash mismatch. I am guessing this is a CMake thing (perhaps my installation is not correct?). How must I fix this, it can't possibly be that hard to install OpenCV, right?

Solution 1

I found the solution in this comment. Basically I just had to manually download the file ippicv_linux_20151201.tgz (from here) and move the zip file to the correct location (/home/ao/opt/opencv/3rdparty/ippicv/downloads/linux-808b791a6eac9ed78d32a7666804320e/).

Then it could compile :)

Solution 2

or, you could recompile cmake with SSL support, because ultimately THAT is the reason for the "hash mismatch" (status: [1;"Unsupported protocol"])

Solution 3

From :

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32749454/opencv-installation-error-ubuntu-14-04/38054298#38054298

try again with :

 cmake \
 -DOPENCV_ICV_URL="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/opencvlibrary/3rdparty/ippicv"

Why not take OpenCV and/or CMake from Ubuntu's package repositories?
