I am currently setting up opencv and qtcreator, so I can use them together. For this, I am following the suggested instructions on stackoverflow, can be found here.

In step 6.5 I run however into the following problem: CMake shows me the error:

CMake Error at cmake/OpenCVUtils.cmake:813 (if):
  if given arguments:

    "NOT" "item" "MATCHES"   "C:/Users/Me/Desktop/opencv/sources/modules/core/include"

  Regular expression
  "C:/Users/Me/Desktop/opencv/sources/modules/core/include"
  cannot compile
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  modules/python/bindings/CMakeLists.txt:23 (ocv_list_filter)

Does someone know, what casues this error and how to fix it?

It seems like it's an error within OpenCV and "regular expression" suggests it's an issue with their string parsing using reg exp. I'd suggest trying to install the latest version of CMake, checking your cmake error logs - which will be shown in your console (or gui console). This will prompt you towards what the error might be, although they can be fairly roundabout as to what the actual issue might be!

Basically, with their regular expression finder, it seems like there are a number of special characters i.e. + ' / etc. which it fails to handle.

I can confirm that I get a similar problem when I tried to build opencv in a directory structure containing "C++". It worked fine when placed elsewhere.
