I thought this was a much better guide to creating your own: http://inside.mines.edu/~whoff/courses/EENG510/lectures/other/CompilingOpenCV.pdf The link referenced above is very much outdated.
And one comment. You said you downloaded Microsoft Visual studio to use on your Win64 bit Operating system. I just tried that, but was only able to download the 32bit version of Visual Studio. That's just the way they are releasing it now. Not sure that really matters, but as I understand it, you do need 32bit compilers for that tool. Just be careful, that's all.
The two things that were odd:
finding Cmake-gui.exe, was only available on the windows version of Cmake, not the generic version.
the other issue was trying to find the right CMakeLists.txt file. Normally that is contained inside the OpenCV package, but I couldn't find it in the normal download. Instead I used the download from github
That one worked with Cmake pretty well.
But I will say, for some odd reason, I'm missing some header files, its not clear why. They are all related to .c classes. I'm still working on it, but my initial guess is the Cmake missed it somehow, perhaps related to my compilers?
