OpenCV ZXing incompatibility on iOS
ios, opencv, xcode4.5, zxing
Solution
I have found a solution to my question. This applies best to anyone using zxing and opencv in the same project.
- Go to the project settings -> Target -> search for c++ a. Switch c++ Language Dialect to Compiler Default b. Switch C++ Standard Library to libc++
- Go to the ZXingWidget.xcodeproj -> ZXingWidget -> search for C++ a. Switch c++ Language Dialect to Compiler Default b. Switch C++ Standard Library to libc++
- There will be a compiler error saying that ZXing can't compile to libc++ because it's currently set to support iOS 4.3. Go into ZXing widget again, and change the deployment target to be 5.0 (sorry all of you trying to still support < 5)
This fixed my problem. Basically what was happening is that zxing and open cv were compiling on different versions of c++, which was causing some strange issues
Edit: For reference, I was using ZXing 2.1 and OpenCV 2.4.3 (Newest versions at the time of the question)
Problem
I'm trying to work with ZXing and OpenCV in the same project. You wouldn't think this would be this rare of thing to do, but I guess it is. I am having some serious compatibility issues between the two. I can only get one imported without the other. I start with OpenCV and everything works fine. Program runs as expected. Then I add ZXing, and I get about 27 compiler errors. There is a stackoverflow question that address this here. So I change my C++ compiler settings to match what this question suggests, and it fixes the ZXing problems, but then opens up a whole new set of errors. These errors are related to OpenCV now(see below). EDIT: It seems that depending on the C++ compiler, its a one-or-the-other type deal. In fact, if you change the c++ standard library from libc++ to libstdc++ you will get one to work and not the other. No way I can see to get both at the same time
