OpenCV install problem

#1

Hi @all,

At the moment I'm trying to install OpenCV on my Beagleboard,
following the steps at http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/InstallGuide

The problem is that when I run autoreconf, I got the following
messages:

beagleboard:/projects/opencv# autoreconf -i --force
Putting files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `autotools'.
Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
Makefile.am: installing `./COPYING'
Makefile.am:51: use `install-data-hook' or `install-exec-hook', not
`install-hook'
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

I can't find out what's wrong.
Does anybody of you have an idea?

Thanks

FYI: I'm running Debian on my BeagleBoard.

Just a guess as i'm currently out of town...

Do you have all these installed? autoconf, automake, libtool?

Yes, I've installed this three packages with, I guess, the latest
versions.
Anyway, I have the required versions.

So, I still don't know why he can't open this three files, because
they are in the folder.
The only difference is that in the messages the file name is written
in upper case and in the folder, they are written in lower case, but
"INSTALL" and "COPYING" also.

I will keep trying...

Pulled from svn trunk:

voodoo@debian-sheevaplug:~/opencv/opencv$ autoreconf -i --force
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR, `autotools'.
libtoolize: copying file `autotools/ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `autotools/aclocal'.

That's about as far as i can get before the wireless drops out here at
the hotel..

Have you tried cmake over the autotools?

This package does exist in debian:
http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/opencv
