There's no such thing, the Shuffle and Mini were separate models.

The Shuffle was the size of a USB drive, used solid state storage, and had no screen, the Mini was the one with the first touch Click Wheel and metallic colour choices, and used a 4GB spinning hard drive.

Never used a Shuffle, but the original iPod Nano was absolutely beautiful. Just a bit too easily scratched and maybe too small.

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 I'm typing this on is really well implemented. It's not perfect but it's a marvel of engineering and an excellent implementation of an ambitious idea.

The app Sync for Reddit Pro has basically precisely the UI I want from a reddit app. There's almost nothing I would change.

I absolutely love the feel of just about every part of the Xbox One controller, and you can even get back buttons on the Elite model.

My 2005 Prius feels great to sit in and operate. Foot operated park brake, keyless entry and pushbutton start, comfortable seating and controls, plenty of space, sensible layout.

All models of Macbook Pro except the TouchBar era have been a pleasure to use.

I'm going to be very annoyed if Apple ditches the Touch Bar and gets that close to making the perfect laptop, then takes away my USB-C charging.

Knowing Apple they would never offer both.

The liquor store I worked in in Australia had longer hours in summer than winter.

Thanks!

To be honest I think alot of my frustration was with the OpenCV build scripts rather than Cmake itself, but I don't love Cmake either.

You may be correct. The way I understand it, those extra libs are only there in the desktop versions, not mobile, but it's definitely possible I misunderstood.

Still, even tho it was frustrating and felt like a waste of time, learning to compile a big project like OpenCV taught me alot, and all or part of that will probably be useful in the future anyway :) even as a dot point on a resumé

It improved my shell scripting skills, and helped me understand how C++ links, and what library files actually contain etcetera

Whether cmake is good or bad, and whether it was necessary for my project or not, now I have successfully used Cmake to compile a big library!

I have to statically link it anyway, so compiling OpenCV separately and manually allows me to cut it down and make build changes etc that might be useful, as well as forces me to look at how it's structured and understand it better.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply.

Will this include the contrib modules even for Android? And iOS?

Once I sat down and read the Cmake basics, yes, it was easy enough to get OpenCV working with basicallly the code you posted, except I couldn't find a way to include the contrib modules in an Android version, it would always complain Aruco wasn't there.

Until I went and compiled OpenCV myself, and that was the part that was a massive pain in my ass - CMake failing to include architecture information in the library files unless you specify it on the command line before running Cmake GUI, even tho it is an option in the GUI. Tho perhaps that's more of a failing of the OpenCV build script than Cmake itself?

I did just recompile OpenCV myself, so I did get there in the end and it's all working now, but I'm sure I'll be tweaking all parts of this project for months to come so if there's an easier/proper way, I'm happy to learn.

It also needs to be statically linked.

Note: I'm not a real programmer, I don't know enough to have even been able to get an entry level job in the industry yet, I'm an idiot that doesn't belong on this website. I'm just trying to learn as I go.

Oh thank god, this thread is making me feel much better about myself.

I've been trying to integrate OpenCV's C++ library with my own C++ code (not involving Python), with the additional contrib modules (meaning I have to compile OpenCV myself), for multiple platforms, and I got stuck on CMake for so long it made me question if I was just a total idiot and should give up on programming forever.

Wow, I wish you could get a reliable 50mbps connection in Australia for that cheap. The government is still installing new Fibre to the node (DSL) there which can max out as low as 12mbps.
