Opencv and qt linux

I want to start handling image processing using opencv and qt so i have downloaded the opencv 2.2.0 and extracted it.
i have included the file file paths to my .pro.
Myy question is can i use it just like qextserial or opencv sources have to be compiled?
if so why am getting error in cvReleaseCapture as undefined function.

opencv is a lib.
you have to build it, and in your Qt project add the include paths to it, and library path with opencv lib is, and link to it.

I have built it using Cmake and I used the Cmake-gui and then run the make and did the make install so i have the libraries built and when i try running my first program i get this error :-1: error: collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status.
and i have given the path to my lis

This is not a Qt issue - ask it on an openCV forum.
