I've been for the past few hours trying to figure out why openCV doesn't compile on leopard. I've been googling for references but all point to a dead google group.

So my question is quite simple: I've read INSTALL file, read all documentation i could find and still couldn't figure a solution for this.

The compile breaks here (this is generated through the Makefile):

rm -fr .libs/libcxcore.lax/lib_cxcore.a mkdir .libs/libcxcore.lax/lib_cxcore.a Extracting /Users/fmsf/Projects/Motion Tracking/Libs/opencv-1.1.0/cxcore/src/./.libs/lib_cxcore.a (cd .libs/libcxcore.lax/lib_cxcore.a && ar x /Users/fmsf/Projects/Motion Tracking/Libs/opencv-1.1.0/cxcore/src/./.libs/lib_cxcore.a) ar: /Users/fmsf/Projects/Motion: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [libcxcore.la] Error 1 make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

Does anyone know what i could do to build it? I'm using mac os 1.5 leopard, while reading i found the full port for Mac OS is still unfinished, but I don't really believe it's the missing of this library.

Based on the error, my suggestion is:

Try building it in a folder that doesn't have spaces in the name.

("/Users/fmsf/Projects/Motion Tracking/" vs "ar: /Users/fmsf/Projects/Motion: No such file or directory")
