Building with visual studio, after Cmake fails
When i try to build the OpenCV libaries in VS 2015 it fails.
I opened the ALL_BUILD, than clicked on build, i get 249 error. Many of these are Linker Error complaining that it can not see the opencv_world320d.lib, and its right i can not either. The first couple of errors are not Linker errors, but the rest are.
cmd after clone:
here is my opencv folder:

disable opencv_world in cmake
its not needed?
opencv_world means that you have only one dll. If you disable it you will have many dlls. It's easier to locate problem with many dlls. When it works without opencv_world you can enable opencv_world if you like (it's a big dll)
in the configuration window i unchecked opencv_world, opencv_world_AVX, opencv_world_AVX2; however i still get the same linker errors (it looks for the opencv_world320.lib), but this time there is 10 succeeded
Delete CmakeCache.txt and build opencv and give first error
updated the question
Delete CmakeCache.txt : it is in cmake gui. Build opencv without cuda WITH_CUDA uncheck and disable all module with cuda clean solution before build solution http://perso.univ-lemans.fr/~berger/A... and http://perso.univ-lemans.fr/~berger/A...
i don't see, that it's building any opencv libs, it starts directly building samples/perf_tests.
this is for sure wrong. you still have artefacts from your prev. attempt there. can you try to delete the whole build folder, and start from scratch with cmake running from an empty build folder ?
i just tried cmake without CUDA, opencv_world, from scratch and added the results. It does finish the config, however there are some stuff that fails, and some files that it can not find
Back to basic : Have you clone opencv using git or download zip file? Have you choose Visual studio 14 2015 win 64 in cmake?
