Build the OpenCV 2.0 libraries from source using Visual Studio 2010 Beta and CMake

Question

OpenCV 2.0a does not include pre-compiled OpenCV libraries for Visual Studio users. I am trying to build the libraries from source using Visual Studio 2010 Beta and CMake, but I am getting lot of errors.
I even tried generating the libs from dlls using dumpbin but the linker errors are still persisting. Please guide me to generate the static libs for VS2010.

Answer 1

If the build error you're seeing is related to:

'back_inserter': identifier not found

as is likely the case for the source files cvmodelest.cpp and cvhog.cpp, add the following include statement to each of those source files:

#include <iterator>

For more info about the 'back_inserter': identifier not found error, see this blog post.

Answer 2

It's kind of late, but I created a video tutorial for compiling and configuring OpenCV 2.1 with Visual Studio 2010.

Answer 3

Try this tutorial(dead) and this one out as well.

I tried this with VS 2010 and Windows 7.
