错误：无法打开源文件x11 \\ xlib.h

Question

I'm using openCV 2.4.8 and visual studio Express 2012. I included all the Environmental variable PATH and Additional library etc.For hand gesture recognize sample code i used from here . when I run the code I get this error:

ERROR: cannot open source file x11\\xlib.h

.I tried in google but i can't able to get a proper solution.

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>

Answer 1

you just can't use that code on windows.

while opencv itself is pretty portable, above code is clearly not.

(instead of using cv::imshow() etc, jujojujo2003 was using native Xwindow calls to pirate the cursor.)
