Errors when trying to import the OpenCV framework into an iOS project

I downloaded the official version of iOS framework from opencv.org and then created a simple view-based Xcode project and added the opencv2.framework in the build phases menu.

After that I imported the opencv2.framework as:

#ifdef __cplusplus
#import <OpenCV/opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#endif

into the *.pch file.


I have this function:

static void testOpenCV
{
    cv::Mat m, gray;
}


When I ran the build - it showed me this error:

~/projects/xcode/openCV_ex/openCV_ex/ViewController.m:45:8: Expected expression


When I try to include the OpenCV framework before any definitions in my .pch file like this:

#import <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#import <Availability.h>
….


I get this error:

~/Downloads/opencv2.framework/Versions/A/Headers/video/background_segm.hpp:48:1: Unknown type name 'namespace'



Can you please help me to find a solution to this problem?

Do you change type of your project to Objective-C++ in project options: Apple LLVM compiler 3.1 -> Compile Sources As?

I chose the option "Objective C++" in my Apple LLVM compiler 4.0 -> "Compile Sources As" and now it works! Thank you very much!

I am not sure if it is correct to post this question here, but in AppCode it still gives me an error that says that it can't resolve "cv::Mat". Can you please help with this one as well?

Could you add more detailed description of the problem, maybe with code sample and log of the error? It is better, if you do it as new question.

There is no error in the compiling time. It actually looks like an AppCode Editor issue and I decided to post the question on their official forum: http://devnet.jetbrains.net/thread/438446

Hi,

Your ViewController.m file should be renamed as ViewController.mm in order to use OpenCV or any other C++ code inside that file.
