Error building OpenCV with mingw under Windows 10

Question

I tried to build the opencv Library on my Windows 10 PC. I managed to generate everything from source with cmake. (Nothing red, no errors). When I try to build everything with mingw (mingw32-make install) It starts building and after a while I get the following error.

[ 76%] Building CXX object modules/python3/CMakeFiles/opencv_python3.dir/__/src2/cv2.cpp.obj

I found the following "Error: '::hypot' has not been declared" in cmath while trying to embed Python

But could not figured it out. Can Anyone hint me in the direction. Where are those includes in the case of building OpenCV?

Versions: OpenCV 3.2.0, CMake 3.4.1, GNU Make 4.1

Any help qould be appreciated!

Go to the following file

C:\OpenCV\opencv-master\modules\python\src2\cv2.cpp

and see if #include "Python.h"
comes before #include <cmath>.
In that case exchange the order, i.e. write

#include <cmath>
#include "Python.h"

so that cmath comes before Python.h.
Try to build and see if that solves at list the error that you reported.
