I'm trying to use GStreamer with OpenCV on Python, so I follow the instructions here to install OpenCV from source. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.
I used the following cmake command
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE \
-DINSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON \
-DINSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF \
-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=$(which python3) \
-DBUILD_opencv_python3=ON \
-DBUILD_opencv_python2=OFF \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(python3 -c "import sys; print(sys.prefix)") \
-DPYTHON3_EXECUTABLE=$(which python3) \
-DPYTHON3_INCLUDE_DIR=$(python3 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_inc; print(get_python_inc())") \
-DPYTHON3_PACKAGES_PATH=$(python3 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print(get_python_lib())") \
-DWITH_GSTREAMER=ON \
-DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON ..
The end of the output after this command is

Am I looking to two different OpenCV versions? I did uninstall old OpenCV versions before installing with pip uninstall opencv-python and sudo make uninstall in the build folder of the previous version. What am I doing wrong?
