OpenCV: Open Source Computer Vision Library

####How to build OpenCV for WinRT

1. open the binWinRT folder
2. build the opencv.sln using VS2013

####How to build OpenCV for Windows Phone 8.0

1. open the binWP8 folder
2. build the opencv.sln using VS2012 or VS2013

####How to setup CMake GUI to build the WinRT Projects

Since CMake cannot create WinRT project files directly, the following procedure is required if you want to make changes to the opencv projects using CMake options. The basic procedure is:

• Set up CMake with the correct parameters
• Configure, Generate and Build Win32 projects
• Set up CMake for WinRT
• Configure and Generate WinRT project files
• Build WinRT projects

#####1. Open CMake gui

#####2. Set the build paths

• Where is the source code: path to opencv-pr
• Where to build the binaries: path to opencv-pr/bin

#####3. Select the following Options

######Note: Make sure the ENABLE_WINRT_MODE option is off. This step builds for Win32.

• BUILD_JASPER
• BUILD_JPEG
• BUILD_PNG
• BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
• BUILD_TIFF
• BUILD_WITH_DEBUG_INFO
• BUILD_WITH_STATIC_CRT
• BUILD_ZLIB
• BUILD_opencv_calib3d
• BUILD_opencv_core
• BUILD_opencv_features2d
• BUILD_opencv_flann
• BUILD_opencv_imgproc
• BUILD_opencv_ml
• BUILD_opencv_objdetect
• BUILD_opencv_photo
• BUILD_opencv_stitching
• BUILD_opencv_video
• BUILD_opencv_videostab
• ENABLE_SOLUTION_FOLDERS
• ENABLE_SSE
• ENABLE_SSE2
• WITH_JASPER
• WITH_JPEG
• WITH_PNG
• WITH_TIFF
• WITH_VFW

#####4. Click on Configure #####5. Click on Generate

This will generate all of the files needed to build the Win32 open_cv projects in opencv\bin. Open the opencv-pr\bin directory and open the OpenCV.sln. Build all of the projects. They should build without errors.

#####6. Return to Cmake Gui and enable the following option:

• ENABLE_WINRT_MODE // Make sure this option is on
• Click on Configure
• Click on Generate

This will generate all of the files needed to build the open_cv projects in opencv\binWinRT

#####7. Open the opencv-pr\binWinRT directory and run the convertprojects.ps1 script. The script will create the WinRT projects in the opencv-pr\binWinRT directory. The WP8 projects will be in opencv-pr\binWP8.

• open the binWinRT folder

• build the opencv.sln using VS2013

• open the binWP8 folder

• build the opencv.sln using VS2012 or VS2013
