I have installed OpenCV 2.4.9 in Windows and I used the .lib and .dll files I found in the folder vc10 in Codeblocks. Although I had no problem using the old OpenCV C API, when I do something simple with the new API like:

Mat image;

I get an error that the functions called inside the Mat constructor can't be found. What may be causing this? I have included all libraries and all directories.

    no, dear, you can't use the vc10 libs with mingw. you will have to build the opencv libs for mingw first, using cmake. Commented Aug 28, 2014 at 10:28
  • @berak Really? I had no problem with the C API so I thought that it's ok. Now I have to create a new question asking how to build the opencv libs for mingw because I followed every guide I found online and couldn't get it done. Commented Aug 28, 2014 at 10:30

    I Think I followed this without much hassle. Also if you do post another question, don't forget to try it out first and post your actual error msg not just "How do I compile for MinGW innit" Commented Aug 28, 2014 at 10:40
  • @GPPK Your guide helped me build the libs. I had followed it in the past but I was missing one step and that's the reason I couldn't make it work. Commented Aug 28, 2014 at 12:19
