OPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG - pkg-config --modversion opencv4

1. opencv/CMakeLists.txt

https://github.com/opencv/opencv
https://github.com/opencv/opencv/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt

OpenCV 4 配置默认不产生 opencv4.pc。

OCV_OPTION(OPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG  "Generate .pc file for pkg-config build tool (deprecated)" OFF)

deprecate [ˈdeprəkeɪt]：vt. 反对，抨击，轻视，声明不赞成

OpenCV 2 / 3 查看安装的 OpenCV 版本

pkg-config --modversion opencv

OpenCV 4 查看安装的 OpenCV 版本

pkg-config --modversion opencv4

2. Generate pkg-config info

运行 cmake 添加 -D OPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D OPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..

• Add this flag when running CMake: -DOPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON
• Will generate the .pc file for pkg-config and install it.
• Useful if not using CMake in projects that use OpenCV
• Installed as opencv4, usage: pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv4
