Building OpenCV from Source, using CMake and Command Line ========================================================= Requirements ============ CMake 3.1.0 or higher Windows Phone/Store 8.1 Visual Studio 2013 Windows Phone/Store 8.0 Visual Studio 2012 For example, to be able to build all Windows Phone and Windows Store projects install the following: Install Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9863608 Install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34673 To create and build all Windows Phone (8.0, 8.1) and Windows Store (8.0, 8.1) Visual Studio projects ========================================================================================== cd opencv/platforms/winrt setup_winrt.bat "WP,WS" "8.0,8.1" "x86,ARM" -b If everything's fine, a few minutes later you will get the following output in the opencv/bin directory: bin install WP 8.0 ARM x86 8.1 ARM x86 WS 8.0 ARM x86 8.1 ARM x86 WP 8.0 ARM x86 8.1 ARM x86 WS 8.0 ARM x86 8.1 ARM x86 "-b" flag in the command above builds each generated solutions in both "Debug" and "Release" configurations. It also builds the predefined "INSTALL" project within generated solutions. Building it creates a separate install location that accumulates binaries and includes for specified platforms. Default location is "\bin\install\". WinRT samples reference 'install' binaries and include files via "OPENCV_WINRT_INSTALL_DIR" environment variable. Please declare it and point to "\bin\install\" directory to resolve references within sample applications. If you don't want to build all configurations automatically, you can omit "-b" flag and build OpenCV.sln for the particular platform you are targeting manually. Due to the current limitations of CMake, separate x86/x64/ARM projects must be generated for each platform. You can also target a single specific configuration setup_winrt.bat "WP" "8.1" "x86" Or a subset of configurations setup_winrt.bat "WP,WS" "8.1" "x86" To display the command line options for setup_winrt.bat setup_winrt.bat -h Note that x64 CMake generation support is as follows: ------------------------------ Platform\Version | 8.0 | 8.1 | -----------------|-----|-----| Windows Phone | No | No | Windows Store | Yes | Yes | Note: setup_winrt.bat calls the unsigned PowerShell script with the -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted option. CMake command line options for Windows Phone and Store ====================================================== cmake [options] Windows Phone 8.1 x86 cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsPhone -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.1 Windows Phone 8.1 ARM cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsPhone -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.1 Windows Store 8.1 x86 cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.1 Windows Store 8.1 ARM cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.1 Note: For Windows 8.0 Phone and Store you can specify either Visual Studio 11 2012 or Visual Studio 12 2013 as the generator Windows Phone 8.0 x86 cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsPhone -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.0 Windows Phone 8.0 ARM cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsPhone -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.0 Windows Store 8.0 x86 cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.0 Windows Store 8.0 ARM cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsStore -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.0 Example ====================================================== To generate Windows Phone 8.1 x86 project files in the opencv/bin dir mkdir bin cd bin cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=WindowsPhone -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION=8.1 ../
