about installing opencv in fedora 15
 

Hello guys.
now i`m trying to install opencv-2.4.4 in fedora 15 using cmake

but when i run command

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local

like i saw in opencv website

but i got below message
"cmake error: The source directory /usr/local/opencv/release/CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release" dose not exist.

i run this command in "/usr/local/opencv/release"

so is there anyone who can let me know what this error message means?

And if there any problem in my post like grammar problem.... i`m not familiar with English so please be patient.

thanks for your help in advance.

you are aware that fedora 15 is dead and unsupported

it went End Of Life on "2012-06-26"
June of 2012

Current fedora is only supporting fedora 17 and 18
and support for 17 ends this July

for fedora 18 opencv is in the base repo
opencv-2.4.3-3.fc18.i686.rpm
for 15
from any of the ( not many ) still up old repos it is
"opencv-2.2.0-3.fc15.i686.rpm"

you will have to FIRST
read the read me and install EVERY needed NEWER version of software
-- fedora 15 is a bit old ---

Fedora does not use the "/usr/local" folder
( it is mostly used by debian OS's -- mostly)

you need to ether make that folder and add it to the system path
or use the fedora default " /usr"

for 2.4.4
OpenCV-2.4.4a.tar.bz2 2013-03-08 74.6 MB

http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/doc/tut...x_install.html
that needs
install the rpmfusion repo for libav and libav-devel

make a "build folder NOT IN THE SOURCE FOLDER !!!!!!!! "
cmake will yell and scream at you
but in the same folder that the source folder is in
and use /usr as the install folder

If you really need version 2.4.4 : There is a Fedora(19) source package,
opencv-2.4.4-1.fc19.src.rpm >
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedo...1.fc19.src.rpm

Building the openv-2.4.4 packages for Fedora 15 :
$ rpmbuild -bb opencv.spec
