OpenCV application (not library) linking errors
Solution 1
gcc `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv` -o ipcamcap ipcamcap.c
The order of flags sometimes matter. Try:
gcc -o ipcamcap ipcamcap.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv`
You can get more information here.
Solution 2
Be sure you are correctly including and linking all library files.
I specified library's search path with the following:
-L/usr/local/lib
-lopencv_core -lopencv_highgui
and obviously included libraries for the compiler:
-I/usr/local/include/opencv
and compiled correctly your code snippet.

After significant bit of searching around, I am still feeling quite clueless as to what is going on.
I have written a OpenCV simple application (more-or-less based on a tutorial), but getting it build has been a challenge. Here's the code:-
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <math.h> #include <cv.h> #include <highgui.h> int main() { CvCapture *cam; cam = cvCaptureFromFile("http://[email protected]:2002/videostream.cgi"); if (cam == NULL) { printf("camera is null\n"); } else { printf("camera is non-null\n"); } cvNamedWindow("Mycam", 0); while (cvWaitKey(10) != atoi("q")) { double t1 = (double) cvGetTickCount(); IplImage *img = cvQueryFrame(cam); double t2 = (double) cvGetTickCount(); printf("time: %gms fps: %.2g\n", (t2-t1)/(cvGetTickFrequency() * 1000.), 1000./((t2-t1)/(cvGetTickFrequency() * 1000.))); cvShowImage("Mycam", img); } cvReleaseCapture(&cam); }
And here's what my Makefile looks like:
ipcamcap: ipcamcap.c g++ `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv` -o ipcamcap ipcamcap.c
Finally, here are the errors I get --
/home/icarus/Projects/ipcamcap$ make g++ `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv` -o ipcamcap ipcamcap.c /tmp/ccV5YLqQ.o: In function `main': ipcamcap.c:(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `cvCreateFileCapture' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0x41): undefined reference to `cvNamedWindow' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0x4b): undefined reference to `cvGetTickCount' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0x61): undefined reference to `cvQueryFrame' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0x6a): undefined reference to `cvGetTickCount' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0x8c): undefined reference to `cvGetTickFrequency' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0xd6): undefined reference to `cvGetTickFrequency' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0x118): undefined reference to `cvShowImage' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0x122): undefined reference to `cvWaitKey' ipcamcap.c:(.text+0x147): undefined reference to `cvReleaseCapture' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [ipcamcap] Error 1 /home/icarus/Projects/ipcamcap$
On the host, I can see that --
/home/icarus/Projects/ipcamcap$ echo `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv`
-I/usr/local/include/opencv -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lopencv_core -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_ml -lopencv_video -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_contrib -lopencv_legacy -lopencv_flann /home/icarus/Projects/ipcamcap$
And, I do have the libs on this host as well --
/home/icarus/Projects/ipcamcap$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2012-02-28 11:44 /usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so -> libopencv_core.so.2.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2012-02-28 11:44 /usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so.2.3 -> libopencv_core.so.2.3.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2169691 2012-02-28 11:16 /usr/local/lib/libopencv_core.so.2.3.1
of course, apart from all the other OpenCV libraries.
Edited:
Note that I started with compiling the program with "gcc" compiler, but the errors were lot more, like -
