Cmake finds OpenCV with CUDA but pkg-config does not

I built OpenCV 4.5.4 on my Jetson AGX Orin using Mdegans nano_build_opencv script. WITH_CUDA=ON and OPENCV_GENERATE_PKGCONFIG=ON. JTOP info reports OpenCV: 4.5.4 with CUDA: YES. The prefix in the build script is /usr/local and pkg-config returns this path. So far so good.

After the build script completes, I can go into build_opencv/opencv/samples/cpp/example_cmake and use cmake and make to successfully build executables that use GpuMat data types with OpenCV functions, but I cannot launch custom kernels this way because the build process is not calling nvcc.

When I try to use nvcc with GpuMats the build complains that OpenCV was not built with CUDA support.

So I made two identical files, differing only in extension, gbi.cu and gbi.cpp. They both call the opencv utility getBuildInformation(). The two source files are compiled using nvcc and g++ respectively:

nvcc gbi.cu -o gbi_cu pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv4
g++ gbi.cpp -o gbi_cpp pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv4

Each returns identical output notably devoid of any CUDA related content. When I build the same gbi.cpp source file using the example_cmake provided by Opencv, I get a different result. This cmake workflow now includes the lines:

NVIDIA CUDA: YES (ver 11.4, CUFFT CUBLAS FAST_MATH)
NVIDIA GPU arch: 87
NVIDIA PTX archs:

The final line from the cmake-based output is:
Install to: /usr/local
whereas the nvcc pkg-config flow results in:
Install to: /usr

gbi.cu and gbi.cpp contents:

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "This is built with OpenCV " << CV_VERSION << endl;
    cout << getBuildInformation() << endl;

    return 0;
}

What am I missing? How do I set the flags for nvcc to get the opencv in /usr/local instead of /usr? As far as I can tell pkg-config is already pointing to the correct directory.

Hi,

Could you try to specify the path directly instead of using pkg-config?
For example:

$ nvcc gbi.cu -o gbi_cu -I/usr/include/opencv4 -lopencv_gapi ... -lopencv_core

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. So I tried pasting exactly what is returned by pkg-config, which specifies /usr/local.

nvcc gbi.cu -o gbi_cu -I/usr/local/include/opencv4 -L/usr/local/lib -lopencv_gapi -lopencv_stitching -lopencv_alphamat -lopencv_aruco -lopencv_barcode -lopencv_bgsegm -lopencv_bioinspired -lopencv_ccalib -lopencv_cudabgsegm -lopencv_cudafeatures2d -lopencv_cudaobjdetect -lopencv_cudastereo -lopencv_dnn_objdetect -lopencv_dnn_superres -lopencv_dpm -lopencv_face -lopencv_freetype -lopencv_fuzzy -lopencv_hfs -lopencv_img_hash -lopencv_intensity_transform -lopencv_line_descriptor -lopencv_mcc -lopencv_quality -lopencv_rapid -lopencv_reg -lopencv_rgbd -lopencv_saliency -lopencv_stereo -lopencv_structured_light -lopencv_phase_unwrapping -lopencv_superres -lopencv_cudacodec -lopencv_surface_matching -lopencv_tracking -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_datasets -lopencv_text -lopencv_plot -lopencv_videostab -lopencv_cudaoptflow -lopencv_optflow -lopencv_cudalegacy -lopencv_videoio -lopencv_cudawarping -lopencv_wechat_qrcode -lopencv_xfeatures2d -lopencv_shape -lopencv_ml -lopencv_ximgproc -lopencv_video -lopencv_xobjdetect -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_imgcodecs -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_dnn -lopencv_flann -lopencv_xphoto -lopencv_photo -lopencv_cudaimgproc -lopencv_cudafilters -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_cudaarithm -lopencv_core -lopencv_cudev

This results in the same behavior where /usr is identified as the install path and CUDA support is missing.

If I modify the command to point to /usr (which I don’t think I want), it can’t even compile.

$ nvcc gbi.cu -o gbi_cu -I/usr/include/opencv4 -L/usr/lib -lopencv_gapi -lopencv_stitching -lopencv_alphamat -lopencv_aruco -lopencv_barcode -lopencv_bgsegm -lopencv_bioinspired -lopencv_ccalib -lopencv_cudabgsegm -lopencv_cudafeatures2d -lopencv_cudaobjdetect -lopencv_cudastereo -lopencv_dnn_objdetect -lopencv_dnn_superres -lopencv_dpm -lopencv_face -lopencv_freetype -lopencv_fuzzy -lopencv_hfs -lopencv_img_hash -lopencv_intensity_transform -lopencv_line_descriptor -lopencv_mcc -lopencv_quality -lopencv_rapid -lopencv_reg -lopencv_rgbd -lopencv_saliency -lopencv_stereo -lopencv_structured_light -lopencv_phase_unwrapping -lopencv_superres -lopencv_cudacodec -lopencv_surface_matching -lopencv_tracking -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_datasets -lopencv_text -lopencv_plot -lopencv_videostab -lopencv_cudaoptflow -lopencv_optflow -lopencv_cudalegacy -lopencv_videoio -lopencv_cudawarping -lopencv_wechat_qrcode -lopencv_xfeatures2d -lopencv_shape -lopencv_ml -lopencv_ximgproc -lopencv_video -lopencv_xobjdetect -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_imgcodecs -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_dnn -lopencv_flann -lopencv_xphoto -lopencv_photo -lopencv_cudaimgproc -lopencv_cudafilters -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_cudaarithm -lopencv_core -lopencv_cudev
gbi.cu:10:10: fatal error: opencv2/cudaarithm.hpp: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

The error correctly states that there is no cudaarithm.hpp withinin /usr/include. However that header does exist within /usr/local/include.

I finally had success by adding /usr/local/lib to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The pkg-config command was not the issue. Previously I only had /usr/local/cuda/lib64 in that variable.

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/cuda/lib64:

$ nvcc gbi.cu -o gbi_cu `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv4`
$ ./gbi_cu | grep CUDA
  NVIDIA CUDA:                   YES (ver 11.4, CUFFT CUBLAS FAST_MATH)
$ ./gbi_cu | grep Install
  Install to:                    /usr/local
