Setting up environments for Open CV

• Open the Visual C++ .Net Application. In the menu bar, select Tools->Options

• In the listing, choose Projects->VC++ Directories.

• First, select Library files from the "Show Directories for" List Box.

• Click the Insert New icon, and locate the folder where you have installed opencv.

• Consider that it is installed in "C:/Program Files/OpenCV".
• In the Library files list, locate and add:
  

  "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\lib"

• In the Include files list, locate and add:

        "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cv\include"
       "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cxcore\include"
       "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\otherlibs\highgui"
       "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cvaux\include"
       "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\otherlibs\cvcam\include"

• In the Source files list, locate and add:
  

        "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cv\src"
       "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cxcore\src"
       "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cvaux\src"
       "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\otherlibs\highgui"
       "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\otherlibs\cvcam\src\windows"
