OS:ubuntu I am able to install opencv-python from the command line. However,when I tried to install my self-built package with opencv-python dependencies, it failed to biuld:

I suspect issue is with scikit-build. I checked I have ninja, make/gcc all available. I set manually CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/make.

But still failed with same error. I

Run pip3 install -U pip before install opencv-python.

Finally figured out, when I installed locally I had a requirements with version 4.1.x and no issues. When I install with the dependencies, it fetches the latest version 4.4 and the issue is that 1) pip version is 19.1 and2) since 4.3 opencv, the wheels has been replaced.

You are missing dependencies. Please see this part of the error message you have provided above:

  Building Linux wheels for Python 3.6 requires a compiler (e.g gcc).
  It can be installed using debian package manager:
  
    sudo apt-get install build-essential

Therefore, please use apt-get to install the build tools required to build your package.
