OpenCV in XCode -cmake error

I'm on a mac 10.7.5 trying to work with the OpenCV library in XCode 4.6.2. I'm following this tutorial http://sadeepj.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/installing-and-configuring-opencv-to.html

So I've downloaded cmake and OpenCV2.3.1 I have written in terminal :

tar xvf OpenCV-2.3.1a.tar.bz2 
cd OpenCV-2.3.1 
mkdir build 
cd build 
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..

It all works except at the Unix Makefiles command, where it says CMake Error: Could not create named generator Unix Makefiles..

Anyone know why this is happening or maybe there is another method of getting OpenCV running smoothly in Xcode?

I encourage you to avoid compiling OpenCV by yourself, whenever possible.

You can download the latest OpenCV compiled framework for iOS here, and here you can find some previous versions. To use the framework, just drag the opencv2.framework directory to your XCode project, and you're done.
