first I down load the opencv2.4.3 then extract it to D:\opencv\opencv2.4.3
now I can find two "include", one is D:\opencv\opencv2.4.3\include and the other is D:\opencv\opencv2.4.3\build\include, what's the difference of them and which one should I include in my application? Thanks1.

OpenCV package for Windows include source code and prebuilt binaries. D:\opencv\opencv2.4.3\include is a part of library source code. D:\opencv\opencv2.4.3\build is directory with prebuilt binaries and other files for development with OpenCV. Use D:\opencv\opencv2.4.3\build\include directory as include directory for your application development.
