title: Setup codeblocks for opencv (How do I know I have the right files and libraries built?)
body: <p>I (Win 7) followed <a href="http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/CodeBlocks" rel="nofollow">Alternative method, for OpenCV 2.2</a> to configure codeblocks for opencv 2.4.4</p>
  
  <p>I installed opencv and built it for my laptop using cmake. 
  However, after many many days and many attempts I was unsuccessful. 
  I extracted opencv 2.4.4 in <code>c:/opencv</code> and then <code>build</code> it in a folder I defined as<code>bin</code>. Bur, I do not seem to find the libraries and there are multiple include and opencv2 folder. It is very confusing. <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55687041/MyOpenCVTree.txt" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is a file tree of my <code>c:/opencv/bin</code> folder. Sorry, if this is too much information. Also, my lib files has <code>.dll.a</code> extension not just <code>.dll</code></p>
  
  <p>When I run a sample code with opencv, it show error that opencv could not be found. </p>
  
  <p>Please help me to do the configuration  correctly. You may post the list of files you have in your opencv folder? This is help me to know what do I expect. </p>
  
  <p>You may use the following command if you wish.
  DIR "Your OpenCV Dir" /B /S > "OutputFileDir\MyOpenCVTree.txt"</p>
