sudo apt-get install -y libvtk6-dev libgtkglext1-dev 
 
# GUI qt
# sudo apt install -y qt5-default

download sources from release or …

wget https://github.com/opencv/opencv/archive/3.4.1.zip
unzip 3.4.1.zip
rm 3.4.1.zip
mv opencv-3.4.1 OpenCV
cd OpenCV

… from git (better if compiling darknet)

cd /opt
git clone -b 3.4 --depth 1 https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git opencv.git
ln -sf opencv.git OpenCV
cd OpenCV

compile

mkdir build
cd build

install

sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

prereq:

• android SDK in REAL_ANDROID_SDK (REAL_ANDROID_SDK=/opt/android-sdk) with NDK installed

Download a stub android sdk and opencv sources

# adjust these paths ##
REAL_ANDROID_SDK=/opt/android-sdk
# output builded opencv, can be removed after 
BASE=/opt/OpenCV-android-sdk.custom

mkdir -p ${BASE}
cd ${BASE}
wget https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-linux.zip
unzip tools_r25.2.5-linux.zip
tool/android sdk
Select and install the following two packages:
        Android SDK Build-tools 27.0.3
        Android 8.1.0 (API 27) -> SDK Platform

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git
cd opencv
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/ngriffiths/296e2fc16b8586705712d50bdfe746b0/raw/350a8cb6497bfe367dda75b7bb202d6c7ce09a72/always-use-ant__find_android.patch && git apply always-use-ant__find_android.patch
git apply always-use-ant__find_android.patch

cd platform/android

# edit ndk-16.config.py
# ABI("3", "arm64-v8a",   "aarch64-linux-android-4.9", cmake_vars=dict(BUILD_ANDROID_PROJECTS='OFF')),

ANDROID_SDK=${BASE} ANDROID_HOME=${BASE} ./build_sdk.py \
	--force_opencv_toolchain \
	--ndk_path ${REAL_ANDROID_SDK}/ndk-bundle \
	--config ndk-16.config.py \
	${BASE}/build

To compile against libc++, I then changed ANDROID_STL=“gnustl_static” in build_sdk.py to ANDROID_STL=“c++_shared” and ran build_sdk.py again.

@ngriffiths you need to strip out intel threading libs (TBB). That'll shave off ~15MB off your library.
