Debugging in opencv: wrong path (Win7, Codeblocks)

If I debug an application and it comes to the statement VideoCapture captRefrnc(sourceReference); in the debug output windows it says:

"warning: Error opening file (/build/opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp:799)"

My question: The path

build/opencv/modules/videoio/src

to cap_ffmpeg_impl.hpp is not correct.

The correct one is

opencv/sources/modules/videoio/src

I built opencv with CMake, Code:Blocks, mingw 4.9.2 (Win7Prof64), and don't find where the wrong path comes in ...

(I hope that with correct path I can debug into opencv to trace my bugs).

to debug opencv progs using mingw / gdb, you have to:

build the opencv libs in the DEBUG version (that's a whole seperate cmake && make && make install pass)
build your prog with -g flag, and link it against the debug libs (-lopencv_core320d , etc)

but the error is comimg from opencv_ffmpeg_64.dll, which was built on another machine, and downloaded to yours as a binary (long story about evading gpl behind that), so the build paths won't match yours ever.

Thank you again for clearing and pointing me into the direction. (Actually the option in cmake gui shows a little strange). Concerning the wrong build path by the ffmpeg binary: I don't mind if it only shows a wrong path, as long as I (a newbie) can trace/ debug what happens (And not only "Not with me, bye."). I don't know how long I can withstand the temptation of M$ VS community ed., with all these stumbling stones here ;-)
