| ###Download XCode from the App Store | |
| Get it from [here](https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12) | |
| ###Get cmake | |
| Use/get a package manager, such as [homebrew](http://brew.sh/). | |
| Open a terminal window and type the following | |
| ``` | |
| brew install cmake | |
| ``` | |
| This will get the required packages for *cmake*. | |
| ###Get and install OpenCV | |
| * Download the latest [OpenCV for Linux/Mac](http://opencv.org/downloads.html) | |
| * Navigate to location of downloaded file and untar it with the following command | |
| ``` | |
| tar xvzf opencv-2.4.6.1.tar.gz | |
| ``` | |
| * Navigate to extracted folder `cd path/to/folder` | |
| * Create a build directory and build opencv with the following commands | |
| ``` | |
| mkdir build | |
| cd build | |
| cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"... | |
| ``` | |
| * Make and install | |
| ``` | |
| make -j8 | |
| sudo make install | |
| ``` | |
| ###Set up an OpenCV project in XCode | |
| * Start XCode | |
| * Create new "Command Line Tool" project with type `C++` [screenshot](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/285590/1329495/379c7872-3518-11e3-8e11-3a83b45c01f8.png) | |
| * **Add OpenCV to your project** | |
| * Right click your project on the sidebar, select "Add files to..." [screenshot](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/285590/1329506/6ec69918-3518-11e3-9a17-c09404fe4d28.png) | |
| * When the file chooser dialog opens up, press `cmd` + `shift` + `G` and enter "/usr/local/lib" [screenshot](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/285590/1329515/974f0ff0-3518-11e3-9568-ce6530c7c6c0.png) | |
| * Select the required OpenCV files (named in the format `libopencv_*.dylib`), or select all. Press `Add` or `Return` [screenshot](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/285590/1329526/af92fb62-3518-11e3-9b41-b012f00b09b2.png) | |
| * You will see that all selected files are now in the sidebar. You can youp them together by creating a new _Group_ and dragging the files in there. [screenshot](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/285590/1329527/c25dac2e-3518-11e3-8ab3-5b3d3412260a.png) | |
| * **Configure your project** | |
| * Click on the project (in the side bar), and you should see the Project settings come up in the middle of the editor | |
| * Click the `All` view (top left corner) | |
| * In the search bar type "**Header Search Paths**", double click the value, remove the existing entries and add | |
| `/usr/local/lib` and `/usr/local/include` [screenshot](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/285590/1329534/00b1b416-3519-11e3-86f8-fa214990f7f2.png) | |
| * Now search for "**Library Search Paths**" and replace the values with `/usr/local/lib` | |
| * Search for "**C++ Standard Library**" and select "*libstdc++ (GNU C++ Standard Library)*" [screenshot](https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/285590/1329538/0f478456-3519-11e3-9643-1b6500bb7080.png) | |
| * **Try the configuration** | |
| * Run one of the sample OpenCV projects | |
Thank you. This really helped me set up OpenCV in Xcode. Thanks a lot again.
@dantesc, I had similar errors which were solved by switching the "C++ Standard Library" setting in my Xcode project's "Build Settings" fromlibstdc++ to libc++
