Can I build OpenCV on my Desktop Computer from source, then transfer the build folder to a raspberry pi for use on a raspberry pi?

Hello, I have built OpenCV 3.1.0 on my Windows computer. I used python 2.7, have numpy installed, and have added a few modules from opencv_contrib. The build works on my computer in the python terminal I can import cv2 and have made a test program and that also works. I was wondering if I can zip up my build folder and transfer it to my Raspberry Pi 3, then unzip and start using OpenCV on my Raspberry Pi, or do I have to rebuild OpenCV from scratch again on my Raspberry Pi 3.

Thank you,
