I can't give you a answer in context of using brew but I can assist you with a valuable resource that really helped me out when I was first started out with OpenCV that got me up and developing [this video] Install Xcode , Install C-Make Download OpenCV source code [LINK] Build and install! INSTRUCTIONS: Go inside OpenCV once downloaded create new folder called build. Next, open CMake GUI find the directory we just created " build " to build the binaries, Click configure, Select "Unix Makefiles" and use native default compilers. cd into out build directory in our OpenCV folder so something like this /Users/you/Desktop/openCvFolder/build and run the command "make" and go have a coffee! I hope this
