I would like to use OpenCV via the Python CV2 library on my BeagleBoardXM running Angstrom. I have Python 2.6 installed, but CV2 requires Python 2.7.
When compiling from source on the BB-XM, the compiler core-dumps. I think this is due to memory limitations.
OPKG does not seem to have a pre-built package for Python 2.7. Is my only option to build on a PC and install manually? If I mounted the BB-XM file system over the local network could I build/install in one step?
Installing software from source (that I personally haven't written) is my greatest weakness with Linux (I always seem to fall into dependency hell), especially when the target is different than the host OS.
Suggestions?
