I am trying for over one week to compile OpenCV 3.1.0 for Android with NDK r18 on Ubuntu 18.04.
I have used the following command:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-DANDROID_NDK="/home/qamaruddin/Downloads/android-ndk-r18-linux-x86_64/android-ndk-r18/" \
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="/home/qamaruddin/Downloads/android-ndk-r18-linux-x86_64/android-ndk-r18/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake" \
-DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=19 \
-DANDROID_ABI="armeabi-v7a" \
-DWITH_CUDA=OFF \
-DWITH_MATLAB=OFF \
-DBUILD_ANDROID_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DBUILD_DOCS=OFF \
-DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF \
-DBUILD_TESTS=OFF \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang \
-DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH="/opt/opencv_contrib/modules/" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="/home/mig-ocv/ocv-android-310/" \
-DEXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH:PATH="/home/mig-ocv/ocv-android-310/" \
-DCMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY:PATH="/home/mig-ocv/ocv-android-310/" \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
/opt/opencv
Follwed by make & make install.install/strip.
I have tried different versions of OpenCV 3 such as 3.1.0, 3.4.3, and 3.4.0. I have also tried NDKr15c, NDKr17c, and NDKr18c.
I have tried the following variations:
- Change NDK version
- Change OpenCV 3 version
- Install using python script located at opencv/platforms/androind/setup.py
- Build using CMAKE
- Use Ninja for CMAKE, but this gives the error:
"ninja: error: loading
'build/build.global.ninja': No such
file or directory"
- Install without Ninja with CMAKE
At the moment, using the above-posted command for CMAKE builds successfully, but I can't change the target install dir since it always builds into /usr/local/ and when I inspect the target directory it does not have the familiar OpenCV for Android structure which is:
1- etc 2- java 3- native --> jni --> include
I wonder what is wrong in my process that makes it so difficult to build OpenCV 3 from source for Android with OpenCV Contrib.
Note that $ANDROID_HOME is set to the android SDKs directory on my system and $ANDROID_NDK is also set.
I have seen all duplicate questions on StackOverflow and other forums, but none seems to work in my case.
When I try to build with Ninja with this command:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-DANDROID_NDK="$HOME/Downloads/android-ndk-r17b/" \
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$HOME/Downloads/android-ndk-r17b/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake" \
-DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=21 \
-DANDROID_ABI="armeabi-v7a" \
-DWITH_CUDA=OFF \
-DWITH_MATLAB=OFF \
-DBUILD_ANDROID_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DBUILD_DOCS=OFF \
-DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF \
-DBUILD_TESTS=OFF \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++ \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang \
-DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH="$HOME/ocv/opencv_contrib/modules/" \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH="$HOME/agusta/ocv-android-310/" \
-DEXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH:PATH="$HOME/agusta/ocv-android-310/" \
-DCMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY:PATH="$HOME/agusta/ocv-android-310/" \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ninja \
$HOME/ocv/opencv
I get:
