I am new to opencv . I am using cv::cvtColor(frame,frame,CV_BGR2GRAY); to convert rgb frame to gray but it gives linking error. All other basic functions eg reading and writing images and videos are working perfectly . Please help me which library I have to add

You cannot convert an image inplace if the number of channels is different. You have to use another matrix for that.

cv::Mat gray;
cv::cvtColor( frame, gray, CV_BGR2GRAY );

You have to link with imgproc library (opencv_imgproc).
