Compiling opencv samples: unknown cmake command ocv_check_dependencies

Question

I am trying to build the OpenCV samples which come with the source package and I get the following:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:10 (ocv_check_dependencies)         


        

Answer 1

I got similar errors. My approach is as following: 1) cd xxx/samples 2) mkdir build 3) cd build 4) cmake .. 5) make Now it works. We could not build individual project under their source files.
