MacOS and OpenCV

Question

Morning SO.

I would like to compile openCV to make it work on a webcam capture using Qt 4.7. For that purpose, OpenCV must be compiled for a 64bit system.

So, I've tried 3 compilations :

• Compiling from the source with cmake :

  sudo cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .
  

  it works, but I can't dump a video into a file using cvCreateVideoWriter : the output file is empty.

• using macports :

  sudo port install opencv
  

  it's not that great because it depends on gtk2, ffmpeg and the libX .. and there is no image captured.

• using the compiled framework

  the framework is compiled for 32 bit system only.

Does anyone have an idea ?

Using opencv-cocoa does the trick !
