MakerScanner help with install

**iJonesN** · March 15th, 2013

I am trying to in stall MakerScanner onUbuntu 12.10 using the terminal following along the instructions andwhen I get to the step to “./configure” the file I get “Nopackage 'opencv' found” from the terminal. I am completely new tousing a terminal interface of any kind so any help would be a great.

Here is the web site http://makerbot.wikidot.com/makerscanner-software

Here is the complete terminal code lineI get back if that helps

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATHenvironment variable if you
installed software in a non-standardprefix.
Alternatively, you may set theenvironment variables OPENCV_CFLAGS
and OPENCV_LIBS to avoid the need tocall pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for moredetails.

You don't have OpenCV installed on your computer. You need to install the development libraries for OpenCV.

To install it, run the following commands at a terminal windows, one at a time:

Code:

sudo su
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libavformat-dev
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
sudo apt-get install libcv2.3 libcvaux2.3 libhighgui2.3 python-opencv opencv-doc libcv-dev libcvaux-dev libhighgui-dev

One other thing, make sure you also have wxWidgets libraries on your computer, before trying to install MakerScanner, because it's also one of the dependencies.

Here's a tutorial on how to do it:
