build issue: 145:7: error: ‘imwritemulti’ is not a member of ‘cv’;

Hi,

Thanks for making this.

When attempting to build the project on Ubuntu with OpenCV 4.2 (installed via libopencv-dev), the build fails at this line in src/allreader.cpp:
cv::imwritemulti(filename, images);
This function doesn't appear to exist in the OpenCV API. Was this intended to be a custom helper function, or should this call be replaced with something else?

Would appreciate clarification on how to proceed.

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for late response. Somehow I didn't see any notifications about this issue.

I think you could try to use later opencv e.g. opencv version 4.5.4. Alternatively, if you don't want to use TIFFs, you can just comment out code that fails to build and use avi files instead.
Essentially, in the code, you want to convert images to a vector of 8 bit (uint) arrays. There are many ways of doing it.

Best,
Vlad
