MacOS – OpenCV library not installing after using cmake

macosmacportsterminal

I use Yosemite 10.10, and I need to build and install the OpenCV library using cmake-gui. I was able to configure and generate the binaries readily. But when I try to 'make' the library using the terminal
sudo make -j4
in the binaries folder, I get the following error –

I get that in multiple places in this particular file,

Also I specified the compiler for using gcc/g++/gfortran that came with MacPorts. It's mandatory that I use the MacPorts compiler btw.

Can someone let me know what I can do?

I'm sorry but I could fix it myself. In Cmake GUI WITH, I just enabled WITH_OPENMP.

I'm leaving this question here though just in case someone else faces the same issue later on.
