Get an error when trying to install openCV. I don't understand the fix.

I am trying to install openCV using the instructions here.

https://medium.com/@sourabhjigjinni/install-opencv-4-0-0-for-c-windows-7-10-code-blocks-tdm-gcc-64-dff65addf162

I get the error .... "error: long: No such file or directory".

I can see the solution here.

https://answers.opencv.org/question/228737/gcc-error-long-no-such-file-or-directory/

I can see some words. They don't mean a thing to me can someone explain what I should do?

General comment. I don't understand why installing OpenCV should be see so difficult. Last time I tried I had difficulty and could only install a version a couple of generations back. Consequently I have been putting off this installation for as long as possible, but it is just as difficult again. I am pretty OK at image processing, you can look at my GitHub account and verify this https://github.com/TJCoding, but I am kind of concerned that I am putting up code on GitHub which other image processing engineers don't benefit from because they too have difficulty installing OpenCV.
