Mac: Error while building sikuli from source --- TIFF_LIBS not found

I guess the libtiff stuff is missing.

I am using homebrew to install additional software/libraries:

brew install libtiff

which installs libtiff 3.9.5 from
http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/

Thanks RaiMan... That resolved my issue... but unfortunately facing some more issues while running the make command with the below errors.

Could you please help why this error is coming??

This is an error from the OpenCV stuff.

If using OpenCV 2.3, try to use OpenCV 2.1 or 2.2 instead.

On my Mac Lion I have OpenCV 2.2 installed and building from source works for me.

Hi,

i have tried with OpenCV2.2.0 , even then iam getting the same error
COuld some one help , how to get rid of this?

Kumar:build admin$

-- while running cmake .. command from the sikuli source code

The cmake ..
has to be run from the newly created build directory

e.g. for building sikuli-sctipt.jar:

--- make a folder new empty folder build in the folder sikuli-script
--- go to that new folder build
--- run cmake ..
--- run make

Did the same steps as mentioned below.

--- make a folder new empty folder build in the folder sikuli-script
--- go to that new folder build
--- run cmake ..
Cmake is throwing an Error with OpenCV2.2.0
--- run make

Thanks,
Kumar

I think you have to check your OpenCV setup/installation again:

file "/usr/local/include/opencv/cvver.h" cannot be read.

does not look like it is ok.

This error happens in the cake module FindOpenCV and it should not look for cvver.h (not contained in OpenCV version 2.x any more) but find and use OpenCVConfig.cmake (the version coding now is at core/version.hpp).

Before running a new build, you should delete the build folder and create it empty again.

Hi,

I am package maintianer of opencv in Debian.
I comment about SURF and surf_extractor.

SURF (and other) component move to non-free module from opencv 2.4.
Because these indicate possible legal issues of using those algorithms in user applications.
If you want to use these component, you need to link nonfree library.

And some Linux distribution (Debian and Ubuntu) stops providing these.
By this, sikuli can not build with opencv package.
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678230

If possible, you need to consider these substitution.
