Requirements

• Lua 5.1 to 5.3 (recommended: 5.3)
• C++11 compiler(gcc 4.8+,clang 3.4+,MSVC2015).
• CMake 2.8 or later

Getting Started

Check out third pary libraries.

git submodule update --init --recursive

On Windows (with MSVC2015)

Build and local installation for OpenCV

cd third_party\opencv
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..\ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..\..\opencvlib -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=Off -DBUILD_WITH_STATIC_CRT=Off
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --build . --config Release --target install

Building lua library

cd ..\..\.. # return to root of source tree
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..\
cmake --build . --config Release

Outputed cv.dll into lua.cpath directory. And execute sample

 lua samples/hello_opencv.lua

On Unix-like Systems(with Unix Makefiles)

Build and local installation for OpenCV

cd third_party/opencv
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../opencvlib -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=Off
cmake --build . 
cmake --build . --target install

Building lua library

cd ../../.. # return to root of source tree
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .

Outputed libcv.so into lua.cpath directory. And execute sample
