Solution 1

Check for Monodevelop, it is one of the alternative and most compatible IDE for visual studio, a dotnet development IDE.

http://monodevelop.com/

It is available in ubuntu repositories, just run sudo apt-get install monodevelop

Solution 2

The only way you can run MSVS under Linux is by running it in a Virtual Machine that runs Windows. So far, there has been no success in running it under Linux, Wine, PlayOnLinux and so on.

Nope, as far as Visual Studio 2012 goes. See help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV for help on installing OpenCV on Ubuntu.
