Compiling 2.4.10 with Mingw 4.8 fails in ts_func.cpp

edit

This is my first time attempting to compile OpenCV 2.4.10 or 2.4.9 using MinGW 4.8.2 from Qt 5.3 and CMake 3.1.0 under Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

It fails with a linker error in ts_func.cpp (reproduced in full below). I am assuming it would compile without my needing to edit any source or make files and I have made a mistake somewhere. I would appreciate it if someone who has successfully compiled 2.4.10 with MinGW to verify I am doing this correctly and offer some advice on how to get a successful compile.

Qt was installed as binaries and is able to create a working Hello World app. MinGW was added to the path.

I installed the OpenCV sources via the windows installer.

I installed CMake using the defaults.

I started CMake and selected "specify compilers". I pointed them to the MinGW bin directory with gcc.exe and g++.exe.

I selected the OpenCV source directory and a new OpenCV_bin directory for the output.

I pressed the "Configure" button and had a number of red lines appear on the CMake GUI.

I changed CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to Release.

I pressed the "configure" button and the red lines turned to white.

I pressed the "generate" button.

I opened a cmd.exe window. I changed to the opencv_bin directory where CMake was to output. I entered >mingw32-make and compilation started.

Here is the error output:
