Getting the cutting-edge OpenCV from SourceForge SVN repository

Launch SVN client and checkout the current OpenCV snapshot from here: http://code.opencv.org/svn/opencv/trunk/opencv

In MacOS it can be done using the following command in Terminal:

cd ~/<my_working _directory>
svn co http://code.opencv.org/svn/opencv/trunk/opencv

Building OpenCV from source using CMake, using the command line

1. Make symbolic link for Xcode to let OpenCV build scripts find the compiler, header files etc.

   cd /
   sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer Developer
   

2. Build OpenCV framework

   cd ~/<my_working_directory>
   python opencv/ios/build_framework.py ios
   

If everything’s fine, after a few minutes you will get ~/<my_working_directory>/ios/opencv2.framework. You can add this framework to your Xcode projects.
