I am trying to build the files in the "Source" folder to the "Build" folder using CMake in order to build OpenCV program in Eclipse. But I am facing the following error:

The C++ compiler "C:/MinGW/bin/g++.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program. It fails with the following output: Change Dir: C:/opencv/mbuild/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp Run Build Command:"C:/CMake/bin/cmake.exe" "cmTC_03910/fast" CMake Error: The source directory "C:/opencv/mbuild/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/cmTC_03910/fast" does not exist. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI. CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:93 (project)

I have installed MinGW several times along with CMake also, but still getting the same error.

Please help me out!! Thanks in advance

Please show your CMakeLists.txt otherwise we won't be able to see where the error may come from. Did you check whether the folder "C:/opencv/mbuild/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/cmTC_03910/fast" existed ? – Sunreef
Thanks for the reply @Surneef. I don't know exactly where to find CMakeLists.txt. Moreover that folder does not exist. What shall I do now ? – Ashutosh Mishra
How can you use CMake to build a program if you don't have a CMakeLists.txt ? It should be with your sources (or in a parent folder) – Sunreef
Yes I am sorry, it's present in the Sources folder – Ashutosh Mishra
I had sometimes a similar problem because of my Antivirus. Can you disable it temporarily? – Antonio

As mentioned at this tutorial PyIMageSearch opencv install if you are using opencv version 3.1 you should set -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=OFF \ instead ON I solved problem with this way
