Installing ofxOpenCv addon with RPi project

[danielJay]

Hey all,

I am attempting add the ofxOpenCv addon to my RPi project.

Specifically, I am using jcleaves raspberry pi camera example (not usb cam example)from the CMU workshop module to run a simple face tracker. When I compile, it shoots a bunch of opencv related errors. I’ve narrowed it down to the search path of the .h files incorrectly referenced. When I attempted to adjust my sketches make.config with the opencv path in the addons folder, I still am receiving these errors. Note* I copied the ofxOpenCv folder to my sketches adding folder. Not too sure what I am over seeing.

Cheers

Edit: To use an OF core addon (like ofxOpenCv) you just need to have a file called addons.make that has the name of the addon (one per line)

Take a look at this similar thread and see if that helps

ofxRPiCameraVideoGrabber + ofxOpenCv

Now I am stuck at trying to send this camera texture to openCv. I tried to use a FBO and glReadBUffer.…
