I am installing OpenCv using these steps:

Building OpenCV from Source Using CMake, Using the Command Line
Create a temporary directory, which we denote as <cmake_binary_dir>, where you want to put the generated Makefiles, project files as well the object files and output binaries.

Enter the <cmake_binary_dir> and type

cmake [<some optional parameters>] <path to the OpenCV source directory>
For example

cd ~/opencv
mkdir release
cd release
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
Enter the created temporary directory (<cmake_binary_dir>) and proceed with:

make **<--- Errors here**
sudo make install

**

Once I type "make" I get this error:

I am stuck. Please help.

You need to create this file: /home/svenson/CSci591/OpenCV-2.4.4/release/modules/java/test/.build/lib
The configuration and make tools should have created it, but see what happens when you create it yourself, then try make again.

Okay I created that directory. Now I get a compilation error.

I'm encountering this same error. After creating that directory, the error make spits out is that for some reason the java tests can't find junit:

[javac] /Users/greg/Downloads/OpenCV-2.4.4/build/modules/java/test/.build/src/org/opencv/test/OpenCVTestCase.java:16: package junit.framework does not exist

I've tried downloading junit and adding it to my classpath to no avail. I've also looked for a cmake flag to skip building the java tests, but I can't find one. It seems like the answer may be altering the build.xml file in someway, but I know nearly nothing about java build schemes, so I don't really know where to start.

Hi Guys, i get same issue here. But i can resolv this, downloading and copying junit latest version jar in OpenCV-2.4.4/build/modules/java/test/.build/lib and OpenCV-2.4.4/build/modules/java/lib. Works fine and now i can use java to work in my project!
