Cannot load OpenCV library

[snphilosopher]

Hi, I am trying to run a console program but for any reason it displays an error on the cv.h line.

Can somebody help me, please?

What error? Could we see your code?

[snphilosopher]

Yes. Thank you! First let me tell you that I downloaded the OpenCV library and that I have to extract files and I am not sure if I did that correctly.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h>
{



int main()

Iplimage* img = cvLoadImage("C:\\hello.jpg");
cvNameWindow ("myfirstwindow");
cvLoadImage ("myfirstwindow", img);

cvWaitKey(0);
cvReleaseImage(&img);
return 0;

}

Where did you extract the 'cv.h' file to? Is it in the include paths for your compiler?

[snphilosopher]

Again thank you for your help. I downloaded opencv from sourceforge and after that doubled click on the file and thats all. However I think the problem is there but I do not know how to fix it.

As NT3 mentioned earlier if you are going to include with <> you must have it in the include path of your compiler otherwise you will need to tell it the location of the file like: #include "c:\users\me\desktop\cv.h" though if you are using unix you are going to need forward slashes.
