Failure to build Python bindings under mingw32
OpenCV 3.0 fails to build with the following error:

The file in question (core.hpp) is present in the location being looked at, but I'd guess the problem is that the paths are provided to Python in mingw, rather than standard Windows form.
Is there a way to build OpenCV under mingw? Seems to work just fine, as long as Python bindings aren't required -- but when those are needed things go downhill fast.
The final config status reported by cmake looks like this

are you using some weird kind of cygwin shell there ?
No such file or directory: '/c/prj/videoLib/.build/MINGW32_NT-10.0-WOW/i386/opencv/modules/core/include/opencv2/core.hpp'try to run on a plain cmd.exe instead,
i'm pretty sure, that python will find
c:/prj/videoLib/.build/MINGW32_NT-10.0-WOW/i386/opencv/modules/core/include/opencv2/core.hpp, but not , what you supply there.Yes, msys shell is being used. That (or cygwin) is the common way of using mingw on Windows, isn't it?
The problem wouldn't have occurred, if the list of files was passed inline (msys/mingw converts the paths), rather than via file. Or if relative paths were used. Can either of these options be entertained?
again , try without msys
no, it's not the common way, it's just one of many. since it seems to get in your way, get rid of it.
So, if not msys, what would be your shell of choice on Windows, then?
again, fire up a plain cmd.exe, and try again (running cmake)
