Revision history [back]

Have a look at the opencv2 package in ROS electric. There is nothing but a manifest that refers to the system installation of opencv2. So ROS will always use the system installation of opencv2, either by using the manifest in the opencv2 package (deprecated) or using the find_package(OpenCV....) call in your CMakeLists.txt (recommended).
