opencv_2.2.bb recipe doesn't install libopencv_core.so

[James Sarrett]

Hi all,

I'm trying to bitbake OpenCV for a BeagleBoard-xM, and having limited 
success.  OpenCV builds and installs fine into /usr/lib, but it doesn't 
create (sym?-)links for the base shared objects.  In other words, after 
install there is a /usr/lib/libopencv_<opencvpart>.so.2.2 but no 
corresponding /usr/lib/libopencv_<opencvpart>.so or .a.  this causes the 
OpenCV samples to fail to build on the target (they install as source) 
because the cflags and libs returned by pkg-config are inconsistent. 
pkg-config assumes no version numbers (-llibopencv_core etc.).

Any help is appreciated,

-James Sarrett

Install the libopencv-dev package on the target if you want to build
against it...
