I've used the guide (linked in first post) to install OpenCV to work with cygwin.

Then I've tried compiling the tutorial, nothing else, to test it.. That's the only thing I have.. I have not linked against what you said, and I honestly don't know how to do that.

When you say "clean up your previous .o files" what do you mean? I'm not that experienced in C++ and I don't have any .o files..

When using g++ instead I get a lot more 'undefined references'.

$ g++ mat_the_basic_image_container.cpp collect2: ld afsluttet af signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped /tmp/ccwkZvFZ.o:mat_the_basic_image_container.cpp:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to cv::Formatter::get(char const*)' /tmp/ccwkZvFZ.o:mat_the_basic_image_container.cpp:(.text+0x341): undefined reference tocv::Mat::eye(int, int, int)' ...

2.4.5.. Downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-unix/2.4.5/

I thought the tutorials were done so you could just compile it without errors.. I'm really confused as how anyone ever gets openCV to work..

I followed this guide to (try) install OpenCV on my cygwin since that's the only environment I've worked with and there wasn't anyone like it on the OpenCV homepage.

I'm not sure if that's a valid install because when I try to compile some of the core tutorials like mat_the_basic_image_container I get this error:

Ejvind E. Lauritsen@EjvindELauritse/cygdrive/c/opencv/samples/cpp/

mat_the_basic_image_container.cpp:65:51: error: ‘FMT_C’ is not a member of ‘cv::Formatter’

Why is OpenCV so hard to install? I just want it to work so I can code in a simple editor and then compile it with cygwin..

I'm so desperate! Heeelp! How does anyone get OpenCV to work, ever?

Edit After commenting out the error lines I get this:
