Hey I just tried using the OpenCV for the past few hours but I keep on failing.
I am a Windows 7 user with Visual Studio 2008.
I followed the instructions for OpenCV2.2 (whilst downloading the newest stable version 2.4)
did the CMAKE phase exactly the way it says .
http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/VisualC%2B%2B
Finaly I added the libraries and includes as showed ( except the folders detinations are different )
and tried using the example code
// OpenCV_Helloworld.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
// Created for build/install tutorial, Microsoft Visual Studio and OpenCV 2.2.0
#include "stdAfx.h"
#include <cv.h>
#include <cxcore.h>
#include <highgui.h>
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
// Open the file.
IplImage *img = cvLoadImage("photo.jpg");
if (!img) {
printf("Error: Couldn't open the image file.\n");
return 1;
}
// Display the image.
cvNamedWindow("Image:", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
cvShowImage("Image:", img);
// Wait for the user to press a key in the GUI window.
cvWaitKey(0);
// Free the resources.
cvDestroyWindow("Image:");
cvReleaseImage(&img);
return 0;
}
But I get the following errors:fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdAfx.h': No such file or directory
but thats not the worst because I read that this file isnt a must so I removed it and got this one:fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'opencv2/core/core_c.h': No such file or directory
kept doing so , removing includs and kept on getting the "cant open" errors
once I checked the opencv folders I found out there are hardly any files in the opencv2 folder
need an advice .
(prefered not to download an old version since there are less options)
thanks!
