There is a c++ code for capturing from webcam. This is a code.

#include <iostream>
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    VideoCapture vid(0);
    if(!vid.isOpened()){
        cout<<"Camera could not load..."<<endl;
        return -1;
    }
    namedWindow("webcam",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
    while(1){
        Mat frame;
        bool ctrl = vid.read(frame);
        imshow("webcam",frame);
        if(waitKey(0) == 27){
            cout<<"The app is ended..."<<endl;
            break;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

But when I try to compile it : g++ webcam.cpp -lopencv_core -lopencv_highgui it raises an error

/tmp/ccApncrK.o: In function `main':
webcam.cpp:(.text+0x1a): undefined reference to `cv::VideoCapture::VideoCapture(int)'
webcam.cpp:(.text+0x26): undefined reference to `cv::VideoCapture::isOpened() const'
webcam.cpp:(.text+0xc3): undefined reference to `cv::VideoCapture::read(cv::_OutputArray const&)'
webcam.cpp:(.text+0x195): undefined reference to `cv::VideoCapture::~VideoCapture()'
webcam.cpp:(.text+0x1f7): undefined reference to `cv::VideoCapture::~VideoCapture()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Can you help me, please. PS. (I am using Ubuntu...)

similar problem, as in your other question, the libs in opencv 2.4 and 3.0 differ. in this case you'll additionally need -lopencv_videoio

Hi, give the path of the opencv library with -L flag.

Link following libraries and it should work g++ webcam.cpp -o objDetection -lopencv_core -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_highgui

sorry, but this is incorrect.

for opencv3 you'll need -lopencv_videoio (for the webcam), also objdetect is only nessecary for cascade detection or similar.
