missing mingw in 2.4.8 windows
When installing opencv 2.4.8 for Windows, I discovered that the folder build\x86\mingw is missing. It is present in OpenCV 2.4.2. Is this a bug? I am a PHP programmer and new to opencv and mingw.
there were problems with the mingw binaries, like false virus-scanner alerts, also too many libstdc(++) versions, so they don't pack that in anymore.
atm, you'll have to build them from src (cmake)
