Include headers to support binary linking?

First off, thanks for this project, it saves a ton of time and I'm really happy that it exists. It makes it a lot easier to get OpenCV installed for the high school students I work with.

I'd like to take a C++ library that uses OpenCV, wrap it with cython, and link it to the OpenCV bits in the binary provided by the installed wheel. This would allow users to just install the wheel of the other library + the opencv-python wheel, as opposed to having to compile their own version.

Has anyone tried this yet? A cursory look at the linux .so files indicate that it exports all of the normal OpenCV symbols, so in theory if you just include the right headers and link to it then it should just work (though maybe not for Windows)... I think that one would add an additional cv2 module (cv2.distutils?) that could provide a list of includes/libraries, similar to how numpy works.

If there's no opposition to this, I might try this out in a week or three to see how it goes.

La issue non indica alcun file del repository né test. Inizia esaminando il contenuto dei file .so Linux in un wheel installato e confrontando l'interfaccia cv2.distutils proposta con l'individuazione di include e library di NumPy; una soluzione completa richiederebbe un ambito concordato e un supporto riproducibile per i consumer che effettuano il linking verso il wheel, inclusa la questione di Windows.
