Linking errors when compiling code with OpenCV Libraries

Question

I\'m trying to compile a sample program after installing Opencv with the command:

g++ hello-world.cpp -o hello-world -I /usr/local/include/opencv -L /usr/loc         


        

Answer 1

You need to add another -L argument specifying the actual location of the OpenCV libraries.

Answer 2

UPDATED-

Better use this command:

g++ opencv.cpp -o opencv -L `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv`

The pkg-config command will locate the correct include and library for your source code.
For better handling with OpenCV programming go with an IDE like code::block.

Maybe this tutorial will help you in OpenCV programming with code::block:

Answer 3

Recently I started using OpenCV and I got similar problem and for me this works really well:

-lopencv_core -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_objdetect

Hope it will solve your problem.
