OpenCV closes my FreeCAD

[looo]

You can try to add the install-dir to the path:

Code: Select all

import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/local/python/2.7")
import cv2

But the proper solution would be to install to a directory which is already in the sys.path eg.: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages'

Ok that worked:

Code: Select all

import sys
>>> sys.path.append("/usr/local/python/2.7")
>>> import cv2
>>> 

But this didn't:

It seems that you very well know what's going on, could you kindly finish this thread?
How are we getting OpenCV now running in FreeCAD?

Thanks,
Andre

No, I really don't know why it installs to a wrong location. Just had a look at the conda-recipe for open-cv:
https://github.com/conda-forge/opencv-f ... ld.sh#L105

maybe you can try to run cmake with this option:

Code: Select all

cmake .. -DPYTHON_PACKAGES_PATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
sudo make install

ps.:

But this didn't:

do the same in FreeCAD:

Code: Select all

import sys
sys.path.append("/usr/local/python/2.7")
import cv2

Which leaves us with the idea that OpenCV 2.4.13 works with FreeCAD and the latest Version of CV2 not. If you have all the dependencies ready you can simply follow the instructions from Microelly2 otherwise here you find the list and instructions as well:
https://codegists.com/code/opencv-2.4.13-documentation/
Why it's installed on the wrong place seems to be strange but may be not too important at the moment, I guess or do you think I should try the new cmake code?

Thanks for everybody's help and hopefully I don't need to add something in this thread anymore!
