I have to make a webcam based eye tracking project, and for that i need to test my thesis of blurring,then thresholding then eroding and then edge detection and then Hough's Circle detection.. which is i know very rookish or won't even work I wanna try out what i originally thought myself before i start copying algo's off the research papers. But first and foremost,i just can't seem to setup opencv2.0.0a or the 2.3.1 version its been 4 days, i have posted my query on the opencv's sourceforge forum, in the yahoo group of opencv [though there some guys helped, but that also didn't solve the problem] All the other guides are for 2.x but not 2.3 or for visual studio, including all that talk about .sln files which don't work with Dev C++, so i never read them.
a few things i clearly know: dev c++ uses MinGW
I did the following probably more then 10 times, trying out little different variations [like instead of -lcxcore200, i put -llibcxcore200, and so on, or changing the include path, or
For OpenCV 2.0.0a:
installed the .exe, which also set a PATH variable Then in DEV C++:
i went to Tools->Compilers->Compiler set to configure clicked on that little green add button named the compiler OpenCV
in the commands for compiler: -L"C:\OpenCV2.0\lib" -lcxcore200 -lcv200 -lcvaux200 -lhighgui200 -lml200 [also tried out, as previously mentioned, -llib suffix]
for linker commandline commands: -lcxcore200 -lcv200 -lcvaux200 -lhighgui200 -lml200
C Inncludes path: C:\OpenCV2.0\include\opencv
Libraries: C:\OpenCV2.0\lib
Binaries: C:\OpenCV2.0\bin
Then,I opened contour.c from C:\OpenCV2.0\samples got 25 errors. Actually the main two must have spawned the rest. They were:
C:\opencv\samples\c\contours.c:1:39: opencv2/imgproc/imgproc_c.h: No such file or directory C:\opencv\samples\c\contours.c:2:39: opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp: No such file or directory
Then from here, http://programing-tutorial.blogspot.com/2009/10/linking-opencv-library-in-devc.html, this guy Aeronaut's second comment seemed something totally new in 4 days, and even though i implemented it, the addition of || _MINGW32_ to #if _GNUC_ >= 4 making it #if _GNUC_ >= 4 || _MINGW32_ didn't help also. Same errors. I'm just not getting it.
I tried out the LEA code from Sourceforge, it was so simple. Just added the dependencies in the Netbeans IDE to my project, and it ran, though i was slow, (for which i'm migrating to OpenCV here). Here i haven't cracked anything in 4 days and that is frustrating me.
