Using opencv3.1 with Qt5.5 in Windows 10

I tried both of them but this time I get this error:
LNK1104: cannot open file 'opencv_core310.lib'

Let me show the screenshot of what is inside "C:\opencv2\release\install\x86\mingw\bin"

I have to say that I am not experienced developer. Therefore I did not fully understand what are saying. I used Mingw because in the tutorials thay were using Cmake and Mingw. If there are another method to use opencv in Qt project, it will be good to me to know.

mrdebug

Sorry but all the tutorials that I have tried in order to to use OpenCV in all platforms are not perfectly usable. To setup OpenCV with Qt is more difficult than to write a OpenCV program.
To start: what qt version are you using? The Qt version based on mingw32 or the version based on vc?

@brotify Can you search for opencv_core310.lib (and other needed *.lib files) in the installation directory?

It seems like you are trying to use OpenCV built using MinGW with Qt built with Visual Studio. There are two things you can do.

use OpenCV pre built. Which is in your build folder of OpenCV downloaded zip
change the kit in your Qt Creator to use MinGW build of Qt.

Hope this helps

Please note that I have solved my problem but I will not delete this post because it may help other people.
@asanka424
Thanks, I selected Mingw32 as the kit and it worked but this time I get a different error. I tried a simple opencv program which shows the image however it gives this error:
undefined reference to `cv::imread(cv::String const&, int)'

Here is my code,

#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main(  )
{


    Mat image;
    image = imread("img.jpg", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);   

    if(! image.data )                       
    {
        cout <<  "Could not open or find the image" << std::endl ;
        return -1;
    }

    namedWindow( "Display window", WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );// Create a window for display.
    imshow( "Display window", image );             

    waitKey(0);                                      
    return 0;
}

and here is my .pro file

QT += core
QT -= gui

CONFIG += c++11

TARGET = untitled
CONFIG += console
CONFIG -= app_bundle

INCLUDEPATH += C:/opencv2/release/install/include
LIBS += -LC:/opencv2/release/install/x86/mingw/bin\
    -lopencv_core310 \
    -lopencv_highgui310 \
    -lopencv_imgproc310 \
    -lopencv_features2d310 \
    -lopencv_calib3d310 \


TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += main.cpp

And lastly can you show me how to use first method that is using opencv pre-built?

I was not aware of that Qt has two different versions. So far I was using VC. Now I am using MinGw and it seems that the problem was this. Yet I have another problem which I posted before this post.

brotify

Ok, I want to thanks all of you who tried to help me. Hopefully I solved my problem. I solved the last problem by adding to .pro file

LIBS += "C:\opencv2\release\lib\libopencv_imgcodecs310.dll.a"

Hello
I am also in a same situation, i did not find any solution till now.
I am using Qt creator 5.5 with mingw492_32 and openCv 3.10 with VC.
When i try to write a small code to read the image matrix using cv::imread() it gives me error.

error: undefined reference to `cv::imread(cv::String const&, int)

this is my

test.pro

QT       += core gui

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = Test
TEMPLATE = app


SOURCES += main.cpp\
        mainwindow.cpp

HEADERS  += mainwindow.h

FORMS    += mainwindow.ui

INCLUDEPATH += LC:\opencv\build\include

        LIBS += C:\opencv\build\x64\vc14\lib\opencv_world310.lib \
                C:\opencv\build\bin\opencv_ffmpeg310.dll

i have only one library file in the openCV folder
Do you have any idea what i am suppose to do?

mrdebug

Hi.
You can't use the vc libraries of OpenCV with Qt built with Mingw. If you want to use Qt with mingw you have to build OpenCV with Mingw.
I confirm Qt 5.5 works perfectly with OpenCV 3.

beginMyCoding

Is there any link which explains perfect installation of OpenCV 3 and Qt5.5?

mrdebug

These lines of code work perfectly with Qt 5.5.0 and OpenCV 3.0
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\Qt5.5.0\Tools\mingw492_32\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DWITH_FFMPEG=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -DBUILD_opencv_videoio=ON -DWITH_IPP=OFF -DWITH_OPENCL=OFF -DWITH_JASPER=OFF -DWITH_OPENEXR=OFF -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DBUILD_TESTS=OFF -DBUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF -DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=modules/opencv_contrib-master/modules .

mingw32-make -j 4

I have only some problems with webcams in some 64 bit machines.

Another hard problem is to setup the pro file. You have to include the libraries in a particular order (depends from your program). Some libraries can be included more than one time.
This solution sounds to be very strange but I assure, to have OpenCV working I have spent a lot of time.

@mrdebug
I seriously did not understand from 3rd line (cmake).

I set the paths of Qt and CMake
Below are my paths
C:\Qt\5.5\mingw492_32\bin
C:\CMake\bin

I don't understand what I have to do in CMake?
Can you say me any step by step procedure or any other way?
