nonfree opencv error while compilining.

[azinnai]

I'm currently using opencv 3.2.0. While I was compiling I got this error:

fatal error: opencv2/xfeatures2d/nonfree.hpp: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

even if I have correctly installed libopencv-nonfree-dev. So I symlinked:

sudo ln -s /usr/include/opencv2/nonfree/nonfree.hpp /usr/include/opencv2/xfeatures2d/nonfree.hpp
Now the error is:

Thanks for the support.

Default DBoW2 ask to have opencv compile with the non free features modules (one that are in contribs).
You can check my version here that have a flag to disable the support of the non free module and so compile with the regular opencv. pmoulon@c14bd20

Thanks, I have rebuilt opencv 3.2.0 with opencv_contrib and all works fine now.

Latest version does without nonfree features.
