Install ruby-opencv with RubyInstaller on Windows

This document shows how to install ruby-opencv with RubyInstaller on Windows.

Official OpenCV binary for MinGW32 is no longer distributed, so when you use ruby-opencv with RubyInstaller, you should build OpenCV yourself using Devkit.

Requirement

How to install OpenCV and ruby-opencv

Download and extract OpenCV

Download OpenCV library from https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/ and extract it.

Create OpenCV Makefile with CMake

Open cmd.exe and run the following commands.

D:\>set DEVKIT_PATH=D:/local/devkit
D:\>set SOURCE_PATH=D:/work/opencv-2.4.13/sources
D:\>set OPENCV_INSTALL_PATH=D:/opencv-2.4.13
D:\>cmake %SOURCE_PATH% -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%OPENCV_INSTALL_PATH% -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=%DEVKIT_PATH%/mingw/bin/mingw32-make.exe -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=%DEVKIT_PATH%/mingw/bin/gcc.exe -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=%DEVKIT_PATH%/mingw/bin/g++.exe -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF

In this document, I assume that the Devkit is installed to D:/local/devkit, the OpenCV library is extracted to D:/work/opencv-2.4.13 and its source directory is D:/work/opencv-2.4.13/sources, and the output will be installed in D:/opencv-2.4.13.

Note that D:\> is a prompt of cmd.exe, so you should not input it.

Build OpenCV with DevKit

Run the following commands in cmd.exe.

D:\>%DEVKIT_PATH%/mingw/bin/mingw32-make.exe
D:\>%DEVKIT_PATH%/mingw/bin/mingw32-make.exe install

Install ruby-opencv

Run the following commands in cmd.exe.

D:\>path %OPENCV_INSTALL_PATH%\x64\mingw\bin;%DEVKIT_PATH%\mingw\bin;%PATH%
D:\>gem install ruby-opencv -- --with-opencv-include=%OPENCV_INSTALL_PATH%/include --with-opencv-lib=%OPENCV_INSTALL_PATH%/x64/mingw/lib

And try to use ruby-opencv.

D:\>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'opencv'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> OpenCV::CV_VERSION
=> "2.4.13"

Note that the paths %OPENCV_INSTALL_PATH%\x64\mingw\bin and %DEVKIT_PATH%\mingw\bin must ALWAYS be set when using ruby-opencv, or you may get the following error.

D:\>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'opencv'
