When I want to create visual studio 15(2017) make files for opencv 3.3.0, it gives me this error message: error in configuration process, project files maybe invalid and these:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:81 (cmake_policy):

  The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all

I use windows 10. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

回答1:

In CMake-gui: After you selected the source & binary folder and click "configure" it will ask you which version of the compiler to use. Make sure that you select the correct one

For example, if you have "Visual Studio 2015" installed and you select "Visual Studio 2017", you will run into the "Failed to run MSBuild command:" error.

If you did select the wrong one, either delete the binaries-folder or simply use another binaries-folder - and then click configure and select the correct compiler.

回答2:

Try installing a Windows SDK (Windows 10 SDK) and run CMake with administrator privileges. If this will not help please edit your question with full warnings and errors messages as in current one you have skipped most important part.

回答3:

Whenever cmake cannot find Visual Studio components, it is because the build options that cmake is using specifies versions that you don't have installed. Thus, either change the cmake options or install the required Visual Studio version (14.0=2015, 15.0=2017, 16.0=2019) with the required components (usually Visual C++ components and Windows SDK components).
