The reason this repository exists is because compiling OpenCV for a Raspberry Pi Zero takes 12+ hours. That is a huge pain in the ass. This doesn't matter much if you just have to do it once or twice, but if you need it 10+ times it will take too much time.
- Download the latest version from the release tab.
- Extract the archive with
tar xvfz opencv.tar.gz
- Move the folder over to the
/tmp
folder on your system. - Run the following commands in the
/tmp/opencv/opencv-{version}/build
folder
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
The whole process should take you arround 10 minutes instead of the 12+ hours of compiling it yourself.
