Why can't you use it? What is the exact error message that you get?

[musa_yilmaz]

i want to use its functions like "cvcamGetCamerascount()" but i cant include it ?

[musa_yilmaz]

ok, i installed opencv as above that i wrote before.

i want to make capturing from my camera.
i have to use cvcam.h library and its functions to capturing my camera, but when i declare that
#include "opencv/cvcam.h"
qt gives error: "can not find include file cvcam..." like that.

but i can declare this
#include "opencv/cv.h"
#include "opencv/highgui.h"
and i can use this libraries and its functions.

can i explain my problem ?

thanx..

Is there a file cvcam.h next to cv.h and highgui.h in the opencv-folder on your filesystem?

[musa_yilmaz]

no, there is not, what should i do ?
did i make an error while installing opencv ?
i am using opensuse v11.2.
i downloaded opencv at http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/

thanks your interest...

If the file is not in your filesystem, then the problem is not related to Qt but to that library. The error message from creator perfectly makes sense.

I guess there is maybe different versions of opencv and the example you are trying to compile was written against a different version of opencv so example version and you installed version do not match.

hmm thanks. i will open new thread for capturing in linux.
