Operating System: #! (crunch bang) Dependencies: opencv

I am attempting to install cvblob (a library for opencv) and I am at the compilation stage in the directions that of which can be seen below. When I compiled and installed the source code for opencv which directory would be the install directory, the directory in which I unzipped and compiled the source, or some other directory such as /usr/local/lib? I'm familiar with installing applications in Windows, but I don't seem to see the translation to linux. For opencv I compiled code and then ran sudo make install from within that directory. So for the the line in the directions below

To indicate where OpenCV is, use OpenCV_DIR variable:

`cmake . -DOpenCV_DIR=<path_to_OpenCV>`

What should I define as the path to opencv? If further information is needed please let me know. DIRECTIONS:

Linux

If you have uncompressed the source in $CVBLOB, type in a console:

cd $CVBLOB
cmake .
make

To indicate where OpenCV is, use OpenCV_DIR variable:

cmake . -DOpenCV_DIR=<path_to_OpenCV>

Installation Linux

If you have compiled the source in $CVBLOBBIN, type in a console:

cd $CVBLOBBIN
sudo make install

To change the destination path use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX when execute CMAKE:

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<installation_path>

Looking at github you should have it installed in /usr/local/ Check what you have got there!

Per answer https://askubuntu.com/a/990597/455406 , if you installed manually you can try

pkg-config --libs --cflags opencv
