How do I configure OpenCV and Cygwin to work together?

Question

I'm trying to configure OpenCV-2.2.0-win32-vs2010 with Cygwin to work together. Any ideas on how I can do that?

Solution

Try building a cygwin port of OpenCV instead of using the windows one. Go to Cygwin ports, follow their instructions & download the "opencv" package (listed under graphics in "setup.exe"), make sure to select the "src?" checkbox. Build it. That's it.

What is OpenCV, what are you trying to do with it, what didn't work (copy-paste the commands you used and the error messages)?

[Philomath]

OpenCV is "a library of programming functions for real time computer vision".
