Hello Experts, I'm an electronics hobbyist not much experience in software development, i have done some projects in opencv. But all the time i have done for configuring the opencv with an IDE the steps for different IDE like DevCpp,VS etc are different in. may the the thing what we are doing the same but as i don't know much about the linker, compiler configure i'm little confused. What i need is to understand the concept and so that i can link the opencv with any IDE without going through a tutorial steps. The next doubt is the as new versions of openCV comes does the steps change? is need change how to identify that?? I have tried to understand this but failed many time, so kindly help me.
