In case of error "nvcc fatal : Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_11' ", add "-D CUDA_GENERATION=Kepler .." to the end of cmake.

I was getting import cv2 errors so just thought of posting a solution here incase someone might have the same problem. If opencv installs successfully, you need to check if cv2.so is in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ directory. If its not there then you have to copy it there because cmake fails to copy it there. To find its location you search for it with find / -name "cv2.so". Same applies with cv.py, it also has to be copied in the same directory. You search for it using find / -name "cv.py" Open nano ~/.bashrc and add the following statement at the end; export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages Make sure you reboot your device.

try to compile with this cmake command under the release folder :

If there is error with graphcuts.cpp, try this:
Open the file "/opencv-2.4.11/modules/gpu/src/graphcuts.cpp" and replace
#if !defined (HAVE_CUDA) || defined (CUDA_DISABLER)
by
#if !defined (HAVE_CUDA) || defined (CUDA_DISABLER) || (CUDART_VERSION >= 8000)

All the dependencies in the shell looks fine, however to install opencv-2.4.11 there is an easier way to do it by running: sudo apt-get install python-opencv in your command line. Note that the SIFT/SURF API has changed due to patent issues and can be called like this:

import cv2
cv2.xfeatures2d.SIFT_create()

Notice that the second line used to be called using cv2.SIFT. Details can be found here

If any of you use Ubuntu 16.04 with cuda 10.0 ,then please install 2.4.13.2 instead of this version, cause due to cuda mismatch the build won't work.

And cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D CUDA_GENERATION=Kepler .. @HamdiHamed1992
if this error occurs:
'nvcc fatal : Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_20'

Everything goes fine until I run the following command.

"sudo apt-get -qq install libopencv-dev build-essential checkinstall
cmake pkg-config yasm libjpeg-dev libjasper-dev libavcodec-dev
libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libdc1394-22-dev libxine-dev
libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libv4l-dev

libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libtheora-dev
libvorbis-dev libxvidcore-dev x264 v4l-utils"

When I run the above command, it gives me the following error:

"E: Package 'libxine-dev' has no installation candidate"

I have python 3.8.9 installed on Ubuntu 16.04.7

I'm using ubuntu 18.04, and still got the same error.
I tried 'libxine2' instead of 'libxine-dev' and it works !
