I manged to get openCv up and running on my Pc!!! Being on Windows it wasn't as straight forward as it seemed to be on the Mac, but at least now I can get on with being creative with Processing!
I wrote myself a set on instructions on how to install openCv on Windows:
- Save all of your working files that you want to keep onto a memory stick.
-Put all programmes and files associated with processing and opencv on your computer into your recycling bin.
-Reinstall Processing from Processing.org
-Download and place it into your documents folder.
-Go to following page: http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/ and following link to downloading openCV. You need to download version called release version 1.0 (Direct link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/1.0/OpenCV_1.0.exe/download).
-Once downloaded, unzip and save to desktop.
-Once unzipped, the installation process should start automatically.
-During the installation process, make sure that you tick the box that says "add path".
-Next go back to the open cv page: http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/ and download "OpenCv processing library".
-Unzip straight into your "libraries" folder within processing.
-Open up processing folder. go to libraries>openCv.You should see 3 folders called reference, source and library. Create a new folder called "Examples".
-Go back to openCV webpage: http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/ click on "OpenCv processing examples" Download and save to desktop.
-Open Examples folder and highlight all examples. Press copy and go to your documents>Processing>libraries>openCv>Examples folder and paste the examples in there.
-Reboot your computer and hopefully it should work!
Let the processing begin!!!
