Hello all,
I downloaded OpenCV to my laptop earlier today in hopes of using it. I previously had v2.4.8 on my desktop and the whole 'no more prebuilt binaries for MinGW' has been causing me grief all day.
The whole problem seems to be CMake. I cannot get it to build/generate the binaries properly.
I tried following the instructions from this blog: OpenCV Install on Windows With Code::Blocks and minGW
The whole process falls apart at the CMake section. So I use the CMakeLists.txt in the opencv\sources since there is none in the opencv folder. I first get these errors:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeMinGWFindMake.cmake:22 (message):
sh.exe was found in your PATH, here:
C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/sh.exe
For MinGW make to work correctly sh.exe must NOT be in your path.
Run cmake from a shell that does not have sh.exe in your PATH.
If you want to use a UNIX shell, then use MSYS Makefiles.

So I click configure and generate anyways, then cd into the build folder and run mingw32-make and the build process fails at [34%] with the following:
C:\opencv\sources\modules\core\src\system.cpp: In function 'BOOL cv::DllMain(HINSTANCE, DWORD, LPVOID)':

So I am unsure were the problem is, I suspect CMake. I just installed it but perhaps I didn't set up my variables correctly, although this command runs from the command prompt:
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=mingw32-g++.exe -D CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=mingw32-make.exe ..\sources
Incase you didn't read the link, I am using Windows 8.1 and MinGW. I believe I have MinGW setup correctly as I am able to use CodeBlocks to build a C++ 'helloworld' program and am able to compile C/C++ programs with Notepad++ using MinGW.
I've tried disabling IPP.
Not sure where to go from here, any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
