It seems it attracted some attention and it seems that some people found it useful. Unfortunately I have not been working directly with OpenCV for quite a lot of time, until recently, when I found myself in need of recompiling it for Snow Leopard.
So I created for myself a shell script that neatly compiles OpenCV 1.0.0 (of which you can download the source from Sourceforge). It creates the libs for Leopard or Snow Leopard with i386, x86_64 and ppc architectures.
I have no time to contribute the iPhone part but if someone is willing to submit it I will add it to the script.
To use it first, unpack the OpenCV 1.0.0 sources in a folder, open a terminal window and cd to the folder you unpacked the sources: the 'ls' command will list a 'opencv-1.0.0' directory in it. Then select the text below and in the terminal launch the 'pico opencv-build-mac.sh' command, paste the text, exit pico (with ctrl-x) and execute with 'bash opencv-build-mac.sh'.
#!/bin/bash
# Download opencv-1.0.0.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/
# Unpack it in the same directory where this file resides.
# Execute this file from a terminal with the command "bash opencv-build-mac.sh"
#
# Compiles for Leopard by default.
