Compiling OpenCV on Windows 7 64bit

Question

I'm trying to get OpenCV working on Windows 7 64bit.

I tried installing the vs2008.exe installer bundle from the OpenCV website but it produced errors when trying to compile, I Google'd these and it appears that installer is no good for 64bit versions of Windows 7, bugger.

I've tried having a crack at compiling using CMake, but really having no luck, does anyone know of a way to get OpenCV installed on here so I can use it in VS2010?

Cheers

Answer 1

Managed to solve it, in the 'release' folder which CMake creates I was opening the wrong file with VS2010, I opened the project file and then had it run a build.

Then I changed the parameters in my project which wanted to use OpenCV to look in release for the appropriate files, needed a bit of fiddling but I think I have it now.

For anyone else interested in a guide how to compile OpenCV with TBB support in Visual Studio 2010, I created a video tutorial for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeBhwbRoKvk (although this is for Windows 7 32 bit)
