Lightweight Development Prefixes

· Opencv Linux Nerd Planet GNOME · 1 min read

Lately I have been writing a lot of native code against multiple OpenCV versions. Like many Linux developers I tend to keep different development prefixes isolated using LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and friends).

I recently took the time to clean up a little script I use for this purpose, and posted it online. Inspired by virtualenv, it now has a prompt!

To use the script:

  1. create the development directory
  2. copy the script there
  3. source /path/to/env.sh

please leave comments or suggestions on the gist .
