This is a quick guide for getting started with OpenCV on ::::OSX::::. I am using Xcode on an :::Intel Mac::: but the same procedure should work on PowerPCs.

  * ::download:: [[http://file.stefanix.net/OpenCV.framework.zip|OpenCV.framework]], ::unzip::, ::drop:: in /Library/Frameworks
  * open :::Xcode:::, create a ::new projects:: Command Line Utility/Standard Tool
  * create a ::new target::, BSD/Shell Tool
  * add existing Frameworks, add /Library/Frameworks/OpenCV.framework
  * create a ::new File::, BSD/C++ File
  * drop some example code in there
  * build/run

Alternatively here is a ::::ready-made xcode project::::  [[http://file.stefanix.net/opencv-examples.zip|opencv-examples]].

::::NOTE:::: I ran into this problem with Xcode 2.2 where it would fail to see frameworks under ///Library/Frameworks//. After upgrading to v2.4 this problem disappeared. For v2.2 I had to manually add ///Library/Frameworks// to the frameworks search path like this: 1.)go to Project Info/build tab 2.)set the //Frameworks Search Path// to the above.
