DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=" -Wl,-rpath-link $FFMPEG_LIBDIR -L$FFMPEG_LIBDIR"
DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS=" -Wl,-rpath-link $FFMPEG_LIBDIR -L$FFMPEG_LIBDIR" I found that (for my configuration) the opencv 4.1.1 build-system did not correctly add the ffmpeg library path (though it did set the include directory.) My workaround was to supply these paths with the following cmake build arguments: -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS=" -Wl,-rpath-link $FFMPEG_LIBDIR -L$FFMPEG_LIBDIR" Does this imply that you're still building the tests suite even with the static libraries?.The opencv python build process explicitly produces a shared library loadable by Python.Thus, this build check needs to be turned off in order for opencv to accept that yes, in fact, any static libraries it finds are okay to use. It's faulty in the sense that the process assumes that you're linking against shared libraries when it doesn't need to you can perform the same build steps yourself while not making that assumption and create a working application. There is a step in ffmpeg's cmake process where an application is built and linked using the same faulty build process as opencv's other applications.What is the OPENCV_FFMPEG_SKIP_BUILD_CHECK flag?.

This seems like a shortcoming in the build process rather than a technical limitation perhaps some day this will be fixed.
Linux ffmpeg static builds Patch#
I am building on Linux, Redhat 6, OpenCV 2.3.1.įor OpenCV 3.x and ffmpeg 3.x, I have to apply the following patch diff -git a/cmake/OpenCVFindLibsVideo.cmake b/cmake/OpenCVFindLibsVideo.cmake I am not sure if my problem is with building and linking to the wrong version of FFMPEG or if it is something with my environment after building (and then linking to the wrong ffmpeg).
Linux ffmpeg static builds install#
Linking an app on a machine without the same system libraries seems to NOT link to my custom install of OpenCV (specifically the libavcodec) because of this (I'm installing these libraries on a shared network folder). 52 and the version in my install of FFMPEG are. I can build OpenCV but it seems to link to the system libraries for libavcodec - this causes a conflict as the system libraries are version. The only setting related to FFMPEG appears to be WITH_FFMPEG type setting (set to ON). Within CMake however I cannot find any setting for path to FFMPEG - either in basic or custom. PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/samepathto/ffmpeg-0.10.2/lib/pkgconfig/ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/pathto/ffmpeg-0.10.2/libĪdditionally, I've configured pkgconfig as: My LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains a direct link to the folder for the custom install of FFMPEG: I cannot seem to configure OpenCV to link to a non-/usr/lib set of FFMPEG libraries.
