How to compile OpenCV on CentOS with Java support

OpenCV is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. It is free for commercial and research use under a BSD license. OpenCV was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and it focuses mainly on real-time image processing. The library is cross-platform, and runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.  It is written natively in C++ and it has C, Python, Java and MATLAB interfaces. In this post I show how to build OpenCV source for Java support on CentOS 6.5.

APPLICATION STACK

– SO CentOS 6.5 x86_64 Minimal
– OpenCV source 2.4.9
– JDK 1.7.0_60
– ANT 1.7.1
– FFMPEG git-2014-07-09

### Required packages
$ yum install -y gcc gcc-c++ gtk+-devel libjpeg-devel libtiff-devel jasper-devel libpng-devel zlib-devel cmake
$ yum install eigen3-devel
$ yum install git gtk2-devel pkgconfig numpy python python-pip python-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel libv4l ffmpeg-devel mplayer mencoder flvtool2
$ yum install cmake28
$ yum install ant
$ pip install numpy
### Setup JDK from Oracle
$ wget --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u60-b19/jdk-7u60-linux-x64.tar.gz

### Untar jdk in root directory
$ tar -zxf jdk*.tar.gz
### Setup FFMPEG from source
$ yum install autoconf automake gcc gcc-c++ git libtool make nasm pkgconfig zlib-devel
mkdir ~/ffmpeg_sources

$ cd ~/ffmpeg_sources
$ curl -O http://www.tortall.net/projects/yasm/releases/yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz

$ tar xzvf yasm-1.2.0.tar.gz
$ cd yasm-1.2.0
$ ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --bindir="$HOME/bin"
$ make
$ make install
$ make distclean
$ export "PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin"

$ cd ~/ffmpeg_sources
$ git clone --depth 1 git://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg
$ cd ffmpeg
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig"
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
$ ./configure --prefix="$HOME/ffmpeg_build" --extra-cflags="-I$HOME/ffmpeg_build/include" --extra-ldflags="-L$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib" --bindir="$HOME/bin" --extra-libs=-ldl
$ make
$ make install
$ make distclean
$ hash -r
$ . ~/.bash_profile

$ ./ffmpeg -version

### Compiling OpenCV
$ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/opencvlibrary/opencv-unix/2.4.9/opencv-2.4.9.zip?r=http%3A%2F%2Fopencv.org%2Fdownloads.html&ts=1406043986&use_mirror=skylink
$ unzip opencv-2.4.9.zip
$ cd opencv-2.4.9

$ export JAVA_HOME=/root/jdk1.7.0_07

$ mkdir build
$ cd build

### !!! PAY ATTENTION TO THIS: I use cmake28 instead of cmake
$ cmake28 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF ../

### Start the OpenCV build
$ make
### When OpenCV is succesfully built you can see
### the jar interface and the native dynamic library
### containing Java bindings and all the OpenCV stuff 
$ ls -l build/lib
cv2.so
libopencv_java249.so

$ ls -l build/bin
opencv-249.jar
