Cannot get OpenCV to compile because of undefined references

Question

The code is simple and is essentially straight from this tutorial  I am running Arch Linux and have the OpenCV library stored at  usr include   I have also checked to ensure that  usr include is in my PATH     include  lt opencv cv h gt   include  lt opencv highgui h gt   include  lt iostream gt   using namespace cv    int main int argc  char   argv       Mat image      Mat grayImage        if  argv 1            std  cerr  lt  lt   No image data    lt  lt  std  endl          return -1              image   imread argv 1   1       cvtColor image  grayImage  CV BGR2GRAY       imwrite  Gray Image jpg   grayImage        namedWindow argv 1   CV WINDOW AUTOSIZE       namedWindow  Gray Image   CV WINDOW AUTOSIZE        imshow argv 1   image       imshow  Gray Image   grayImage        waitKey 0       return 0      The compiler process successfully finds and include these header files  but I still get undefined reference errors at compile-time  If you look into the header files I included they further include other files in  usr include opencv2  I have checked and such header files do exist    Any ideas     tmp ccudBcqD o  In function  main   test cpp   text 0xc0   undefined reference to  cv  imread std  string const amp   int   test cpp   text 0x11f   undefined reference to  cv   OutputArray   OutputArray cv  Mat amp    test cpp   text 0x138   undefined reference to  cv   InputArray   InputArray cv  Mat const amp    test cpp   text 0x158   undefined reference to  cv  cvtColor cv   InputArray const amp   cv   OutputArray const amp   int  int   test cpp   text 0x180   undefined reference to  cv   InputArray   InputArray cv  Mat const amp    test cpp   text 0x1ca   undefined reference to  cv  imwrite std  string const amp   cv   InputArray const amp   std  vector lt int  std  allocator lt int gt   gt  const amp    test cpp   text 0x241   undefined reference to  cv  namedWindow std  string const amp   int   test cpp   text 0x291   undefined reference to  cv  namedWindow std  string const amp   int   test cpp   text 0x2bf   undefined reference to  cv   InputArray   InputArray cv  Mat const amp    test cpp   text 0x2ff   undefined reference to  cv  imshow std  string const amp   cv   InputArray const amp    test cpp   text 0x32d   undefined reference to  cv   InputArray   InputArray cv  Mat const amp    test cpp   text 0x361   undefined reference to  cv  imshow std  string const amp   cv   InputArray const amp    test cpp   text 0x383   undefined reference to  cv  waitKey int    tmp ccudBcqD o  In function  cv  Mat   Mat     test cpp   text  ZN2cv3MatD2Ev  ZN2cv3MatD5Ev  0x39   undefined reference to  cv  fastFree void     tmp ccudBcqD o  In function  cv  Mat  operator  cv  Mat const amp     test cpp   text  ZN2cv3MataSERKS0   ZN2cv3MataSERKS0   0x111   undefined reference to  cv  Mat  copySize cv  Mat const amp     tmp ccudBcqD o  In function  cv  Mat  release     test cpp   text  ZN2cv3Mat7releaseEv  ZN2cv3Mat7releaseEv  0x47   undefined reference to  cv  Mat  deallocate    collect2  error  ld returned 1 exit status  Finished in 1 1s with exit code 1   shell cmd  g     home branden Desktop OpenCV test cpp  -o   home branden Desktop OpenCV test    dir   home branden Desktop OpenCV   path   usr local sbin  usr local bin  usr bin  usr bin vendor perl  usr bin core perl

If you do the following  you will be able to use opencv build from OpenCV INSTALL PATH   cmake minimum required VERSION 2 8   SET OpenCV INSTALL PATH  home user opencv opencv-2 4 13 release    SET OpenCV INCLUDE DIRS    OpenCV INSTALL PATH  include opencv   OpenCV INSTALL PATH  include    SET OpenCV LIB DIR    OpenCV INSTALL PATH  lib    LINK DIRECTORIES   OpenCV LIB DIR    set OpenCV LIBS opencv core opencv imgproc opencv calib3d opencv video opencv features2d opencv ml opencv highgui opencv objdetect opencv contrib opencv legacy opencv gpu     find package  OpenCV    project edge cpp   add executable edge edge cpp

For me  this type of error   mingw-w64-x86 64 lib gcc x86 64-w64-mingw32 8 2 0             x86 64-w64-mingw32 bin ld  mingw-w64-x86 64 x86 64-w64-mingw32 lib libTransform360 a VideoFrameTransform cpp obj  VideoFrameTransform cpp   text 0xc7c   undefined reference to  cv  Mat  Mat cv  Mat const amp   cv  Rect  lt int gt  const amp      meant load order  I had to do -lTransform360 -lopencv dnn345 -lopencv    just like that  that order  And putting them right next to each other helped too  don t put -lTransform360 all the way at the beginning   or you ll get  for some freaky reason   undefined reference to  VideoFrameTransform new  undefined reference to  VideoFrameTransform generateMapForPlane

This is a linker issue  Try   g   -o test 1 test 1 cpp  pkg-config opencv --cflags --libs    This should work to compile the source  However  if you recently compiled OpenCV from source  you will meet linking issue in run-time  the library will not be found   In most cases  after compiling libraries from source  you need to do finally   sudo ldconfig

I have tried all solution  The -lopencv core -lopencv imgproc -lopencv highgui in comments solved my problem  And know my command line looks like this in geany   g   -lopencv core -lopencv imgproc -lopencv highgui  -o   e    f    When I build   g   -lopencv core -lopencv imgproc -lopencv highgui  -o  opencv   opencv cpp   in directory   home fedora Desktop Implementations    The headers are    include  opencv2 imgproc imgproc hpp   include  opencv2 highgui highgui hpp

if anyone still having this problem  One solution is to rebuild the source OpenCV library using MinGW and not use the binaries given by OpenCV  I did it and it worked like a charm
