I was prowling around in my VS C++ 2013 install folder told, and found V9, V10, and V11 folders under a high level build folder. They, the Vs, contained bin, lib the staticlib. What are the three V folders for? Similarly why is mingw in another folder? That's a C++ compiler. A quick look with Google showed there may some agreement between MS and mingw.
The vc9, vc10, vc11 (and may be vc11_ui) folders are corresponding to different versions of OpenCV libraries which are built with Visual C++ 2008 (vc9), VC++ 2010 (vc10) and VC++ 2012 (vc11 and vc11_ui). And the mingw folder contains library's files built with g++ in mingw. These versions are for different developpers and systems because a program compiled in VC++ 2013 can not link to .lib files generated by VC++ 2012 (or 2010, .etc). I do not think there is an agreement between MS and mingw.
