I have to to build opencv from source due to opencv_contrib. Although I have tried many tutorials, I faild to build opencv from source.
The code I used:
cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DANDROID_NDK=D:/androidNDK/android-ndk-r22b -DANDROID_SDK_ROOT=D:/android-sdk -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=D:/androidNDK/android-ndk-r22b/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF D:/OpenCV455/opencv-4.5.5

How to fix it?
I try to find solutions for similar problem, and here maybe the only similar one. The developer suggetsted that:
Android SDK: not used, projects are not built After that message Java-based projects should be skipped completely. Try to upgrade your Android SDK "BuildTools". CMAKE_CONFIG_GENERATOR="MinGW Makefiles" There is ninja build tool in Android NDK. Use cmake -GNinja ... for better experience. I don't quite grasp how to do, My build tools version is 33.0.0.
