Eclipse CDT and OpenCV issue

Question

I'm trying to make OpenCV work in Eclipse CDT, provided that I'm using the following under Windows 7 :

I have set the path for Includes under Cygwin C++ Compiler as follows: C:\\OpenCV2.2\\include\\opencv

And, also set the path for Libraries under Cygwin Linker as follows: C:\\OpenCV2.2\\lib

When I try to build the project, I get the following two errors:

cannot find -lC:/OpenCV2.2/lib

make: *** [OpenCVDemo.exe] Error 1

Any ideas why am I getting that?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to add C:\\OpenCV2.2\\lib as a library path , not a library. Add libraries that you will use:

opencv_core
opencv_highgui

etc.

Also you may need to use include directory C:\\OpenCV2.2\\include\\opencv2 and #include <opencv.hpp> .
