github_install & R CMD INSTALL fails for videoplayR

I was trying to install the package videoplayR from github but failed to do the same. I tried two ways:

1. Using the installation guidance mentioned in README file.It gave the following error:

> install_github("sjmgarnier/videoplayR")

Downloading github repo sjmgarnier/videoplayR@master Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE) :

2. Using R CMD SHLIB etc gives the following error while running R CMD check. It is a part of the install.out file:

* installing source package ‘videoplayR’ ...

** libs

I am guessing problem 2 is occurring due to version problem of OpenCV. Am I right? Is there any way out of this?

  1. Looks similar to these 2 reported problems: https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues/650 and https://github.com/hadley/devtools/issues/467. It seems that you need to update your system (Linux I presume) to the latest version of Curl.

  2. I believe this is my fault. I forgot to exclude the compiled shared object videoplayR.so last time I committed changes to the GitHub repo. If you're using a different OS than mine (OSX Yosemite), it is most certainly the cause of the problem that you encountered. I fixed it and now it should compile nicely on your computer as well.

FYI I compiled and ran the package with both OpenCV 2.4.9 and 2.4.10, but it should work with any 2.4.X version of OpenCV (never tried the latest OpenCV 3.0 beta).
