I installed opencv on a lubuntu 12.10 distro. Then when I try to compile a code which is using opencv it says it can't find it. So I try in a terminal :
pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv
It answers me that it can't find opencv. But the files are installed in /usr/lib. I don't understand why it can't find them.
You have to put pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv
at the end of your g++ line. For example :
g++ test.cpp -o test `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv`
Compiles
g++ `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv` test.cpp -o test
Doesn't compile and have undefined reference.
