    Hi,

    You must use backslashes when doing multiline assignments like this one.

      Im using he backslashes just essentially replaced what I had above ****** LIBS += -L\usr\local\lib
      -lopencv_core
      -lopencv_imgproc
      -lopencv_features2d
      -lopencv_highgui

      But still am having difficulties is there something I'm missing here? I am using Mac OSX... and have accomplished this is Xcode but just doesn't seem to be working is there anything else to configure etc?

        I meant: use backslashes when marking a new line. For the paths themselves use forward slashes.

        What error are you getting ?

          sorry for the wait... all I'm getting is opencv.cpp not found... is there solid documentation somewhere on this subject? thank you

            opencv.cpp not found ? Where's that file coming from ?

            Not knowing what your current error relates to I can't give you any recommendation.

              The actual file itself 'openCV ' is located on my desktop... I made a file 'build' inside the folder and then 'lib' where all the files are located ; highgui etc. Is there a crucial step I missed here ? I mean I downloaded openCV installed Cmake by following a tutorial and installed this perfectly fine in Xcode.. But since moving to Qt I have not been able to get the same results.

                Could you please tell me in your case how would you do this if you were using Mac assuming we have Qt installed and openCV...

                  There are several possibilities.

                  You can use pkg-config or do it like you do currently and provide the INCLUDEPATH and LIBS with the adequate data.

                  Can you share your complete .pro file ? From the bits you've given, one time you have used the wrong line ending char and the other you are complete missing it.

                  Example:

                  LIBS += \
                      -L/usr/local/lib \
                      -lopencv_core \
                      -lopencv_highgui
                  
                  INCLUDEPATH += \
                      /usr/local/include 
                  

                  You should also post the exact error you are having.

                    Yes please see bottom for code. If it at all has changed I have been modifying it and tuning it according to different tutorials to see if it'll work etc. But essentially the end result is the same ERROR: opencv.h not found' when using ' #include <opencv.h> or something similar; highgui, core ...

                      Only error is the error that is indicating the header files are not found " OPENCV.H not found!'

                        Shouldn't it be #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp> ?

                          Sorry, yes; I have used the #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp> and the error I stated above is still valid

                            Do you mean the opencv.h not found error ?

                              Hey, thanks for your help I actually got it and have reproduced the desired outcome... essentially what happened because I am new to Qt & OpenCV etc. It seems I have placed the code before Sources' in the project.pro file which produced the errors... I did this before as well I don't quite understand why it decides to work now but did not before? but essentially I'm good :) thanks for support
