OpenCV 3.1 with Contrib modules for Python - MinGW and Codelite on Windows

edit

I have spent a week trying to compile Open CV with contrib modules for research and it has been a nightmare...

I am using cmake 3.5.0 to compile from opencv/sources. In the opencv folder I added the contrib modules and after cmake configures, I set the extra module path as opencv/contrib/modules.

Then after the files have been compiled for Codelite - MinGW, I have tried to build the OpenCV.project and the OpenCV.workspace.

Both of these end with mingw32-make.exe: * [all] Error 2

I have tried two PCs compiling, I have tried codeblocks, eclipse, codelite, VS2015 and all of them have failed - however I get the furthest in building with codelite so I will stick with this.

Here is the cmake log before adding the contrib files - http://pastebin.com/qTPdSjvW

Here is the cmake log for after - http://pastebin.com/wk4Wi7Eb

Here is the build log for building the opencv.project - http://pastebin.com/u7M0GTuz

At this point I would like to give up but I do not know of any other packages with opencv functionality...

I have on separate cmakes, built both the entire workspace and built the individual opencv.project, when I build the full workspace, for each individual file it does pretty much the same thing. Always the same error.

Here are my environment variables C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin;C:\Anaconda;C:\Anaconda\Scripts;C:\Anaconda\Library\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin;c:/MinGW/bin

Just incase someone points out that one is missing...

Thanks,

Jack

p.s I have virutally no other experience with cmake, so if I need to change some variables I will need some instructions on how to do it on windows - thanks!
