I am trying to set up opencv 3.0 alpha with visual studio 2013. So far I have unpackaged the prebuilt binaries but I can not find any docs pertaining to 3.0 alpha, just 2.x. I know the project structure has changed so I am just wondering what the next steps should be to get a simple project running in VS. something as simple as just displaying a webcam stream would be proof of concept enough to understand the flow.

any advice on where to start or some general directions I need to take or what of the older documentation is still relevant?

(first time using opencv so this is why I am so lost)

the 3.0 docs are here . the setup manuals haven't seen much change, though

@berak would you suggest I switch back to 3.0.0 again?

depends on your needs. if you need just a 'working' opencv install, maybe stick with 2.4 for now,

if you need features from the 3.0, fight your way through the install ( and help to erase alpha bugs :)
