WARNING: Users of boards with 1GB of memory
Compiling is very memory intensive, you will likely need to increase your swap size. Assuming you have a reasonably large SD card (>16GB to be safe), follow the procedure below to increase your swap size from the default 100MB to 2GB
$ sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
$ sudo sed -i 's:CONF_SWAPSIZE=.*:CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048:g' /etc/dphys-swapfile
$ sudo reboot
Running a new OS and OpenCV 4.3.0 install and build on a Raspberry PI 4B 4GB. I had an error in install-deps.sh which made me have to run:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y
I thought my system was already updated. The problem was with some vlc-bin dependencies. The install-deps.sh then ran successfully. Then build started complaining. I realized that I had to remove CMakeCache.txt. Build is running now.
