Hi,

when I build OpenCV from git it is not creating subfolders beneath the opencv2 folder. Additionaly most files seem to reside in the include folder.

Any help on this??

I think it is normal. Though I have prebuilt binaries for windows, this is my opencv/include structure under opencv.hpp.

I guess that single header file is used to define where all the other data resides. I am guess all other data is compiled into libraries and dll files.

sorry, I should have added that this happens with linux. And the problem is, that the other, header files assume a folder hierarchy, so I get the error that the include files cannot be found.

Is there a particular reason why you would want to build the library yourself? If prebuilt binaries do the trick for you, then it is also possible (http://opencv.org/downloads.html). If you persist on building yourself, I would suggest to go through this guide, which explains each detail and see if the error still persists : http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/linux_install/linux_install.html#linux-installation

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I already followed this guide.

You must be doing something wrong, because I installed it yesterday in linux myself using this guide. Can you try doing it with version 2.4.4? Maybe a bug in the new release.

I presented a way of installing OpenCV under linux at this question http://answers.opencv.org/question/11008/does-linux-tutorial-method-work-on-mac-osx/#11064 - maybe it helps

Steven was right. Installing version 2.4.5. but not the current git version solved my problem. Thanks for your help.
