So you have OpenCV installed, but can't quite get anything to compile. Make sure you do the following.
/usr/include is usually stored in your path. So to access the opencv library files, do the following:
#include <opencv/cv.h> #include <opencv/highgui.h> #include <opencv/cxcore.h>
Also use a makefile similar to the following:
OCV_LIBS += -lcv -lcvaux -lhighgui -lcxcore
all: main
main:
g++ sample.cpp -o sample $(OCV_LIBS)in case the linker does not find the library to link, try with explicit name
OCV_LIBS += -l:libopencv_core.so -l:libopencv_highgui.so
