Hey

I was trying to install vision_opencv from here:

https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/vision_opencv/

on my BeagleBoard xM running Oneiric.

Each time i perform

rosdep install vision_opencv

I get an error saying: unable to find ros-fuerte-opencv2. I checked the Makefile and it says to look for ros-fuerte-opencv2 in the apt-repository, but since we don't really have a ros repository for BeagleBoard and the installation has to be done from source, i dont really know how to install this package.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The source installation is the only way to install something on an ARM Platform but after a while is pretty straightforward:

first checkout the source code

$ svn checkout https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/vision_opencv/trunk

then create a build dir and go into it

$ mkdir build && cd build

then make it with cmake

$ cmake ..

then make and install

$ make
$ sudo make install

hope I could help.
