Thanks for the info about the "world". I was unaware of that, because most posts that I read mentioned the various "core" DLLs. The main issue is an error invoking "emgu" library, which uses OCV. But I will try copying the OCV DLL, and see if I can get it to work.

Can anyone provide CLEAR instructions on how to build OpenCV on Windows x64 (in my case, Windows 10), using Visual Studio 2015 Express? I have downloaded the OpenCV 3.0.0 self-extractor file, unpacked it, and there are files missing from the package. Many of the core, prebuilt DLLs are not in the package, and the OpenCV.sln file, which many people have mentioned (in posts) needs to be built, is not there.

I also tried cloning the OpenCV source code & samples repository from GIT, directly to my hard drive, then looking for the OpenCV.sln file, but again it is not there. I see some CMAKE related files. Is CMAKE the only possible way to build OpenCV 3.0.0? If so, why do so many people mention the SLN file, which does not exist.

At the moment, I am dead-in-the-water with trying to use OpenCV, because I cannot locate the proper binaries (DLLs), and I cannot build it myself. Pretty strange, for such a popular library!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
