Linking OpenCV
« on: May 10, 2008, 12:26:28 pm »
Hello
First of all, I'm new in C++ and also in Code::blocks. I just got it installed yesterday on Ubuntu.
I got installed opencv as well. But I can not link opencv with code::blocks:(

By using console I can compile my program and everything is working fine, but if I try to build it in code::blocks,
I always get the error message

main.cpp|4|error: cv.h: No such file or directory|
main.cpp|5|error: highgui.h: No such file or directory|
main.cpp||In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:|

main.cpp|47|error: ‘cvWaitKey’ was not declared in this scope|
main.cpp|50|error: ‘cvReleaseImage’ was not declared in this scope|
||=== Build finished: 15 errors, 0 warnings ===|

Can maybe someone tell me how do I have to link opencv with code::blocks.
I installes opencv to opt/opencv/

here is also the standard program which I try to build

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h>


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  IplImage* img = 0;
  int height,width,step,channels;
  uchar *data;
  int i,j,k;

  if(argc<2){
    printf("Usage: main <image-file-name>\n\7");
    exit(0);
  }

  // load an image
  img=cvLoadImage(argv[1]);
  if(!img){
    printf("Could not load image file: %s\n",argv[1]);
    exit(0);
  }

  // get the image data
  height    = img->height;
  width     = img->width;
  step      = img->widthStep;
  channels  = img->nChannels;
  data      = (uchar *)img->imageData;
  printf("Processing a %dx%d image with %d channels\n",height,width,channels);

  // create a window
  cvNamedWindow("mainWin", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
  cvMoveWindow("mainWin", 100, 100);

  // invert the image
  for(i=0;i<height;i++) for(j=0;j<width;j++) for(k=0;k<channels;k++)
    data[i*step+j*channels+k]=255-data[i*step+j*channels+k];

  // show the image
  cvShowImage("mainWin", img );

  // wait for a key
  cvWaitKey(0);

  // release the image
  cvReleaseImage(&img );
  return 0;
}


Thank for your help

As i understood the highgui.h is tightly bound with Microsoft's DirectShow.
So i was forced to use Platforms SDK with VC++ compiler under Windows to compile it.
That's why i met problems described here: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,8379.0.html .
It seems i have to unbind OpenCV sources from highgui.h if you wanna use GNU/Linux.
