How can I install openCV in order to be able see definitions in openCV source?

asked 2013-07-02 19:11:17 -0600

Last time I installed openCV I used the super pack for visual studio and it worked great. I could go to the definition of openCV functions and see their references. Now when I installed it, both in linux with eclipse and windows with visual studio, I haven't been able to work out how to get it set up so that I can go straight to the openCV functions implementations. The superpack download option doesn't exist anymore. Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to do this?

Basically you need to build openCV yourself on your machine with your specific configuration, using the sourcecode from the github repository and creating the correct pdb files for your system. Once you have done that, all functionality will be available for you.

A link to a guide on how to compile openCV yourself on windows can be found here.
