opencv not compatible about alpacapi HOT 4 CLOSED

The current version of AlpacaPI requires openCV version 3.3.1 or earlier.
This is because I started using openCV 10 years ago when the C function calls were the more common interface. 3.3.1 was the last version that supported "C".

I am currently working VERY hard at updating to the openCV C++ interface. I am about 80% complete

There are several options currently available
You can make a driver that does not use openCV
make noopencv

Skytravel can be compiled with the new C++ interface
make skycv4

There is also an install script that will download openCV 3.3.1 and compile it. However, on some versions of g++ the cmake file does not generate compatible code
install_opencv.sh

The planetarium program, SkyTravel is now fully working with openCV4, the camera drivers will work WITHOUT openCV but the openCV part is not finished. It is real close.

Camera driver is mostly switched over to openCV C++ calls now. It is enough so all of the standard functionality is complete. Not ready to close the issue yet because it is not fully tested.

Most of the other drivers, such as focuser, rotator, etc, do not use openCV so they are fine.

all of the components of AlpacaPi are now working on both Linux and RaspberryPi with version 4 of openCV only.
This issue is now closed.
Thanks for bringing it up. It was a lot of work but worth it in the end.
