I found the answer some place else. The problem is caused by putting "using namespace cv;" in a header. If you need to define a class member that is part of the cv namespace in the header, use cv:: in front of the class name and move the using namespace to your cpp file.

You're right!. From the complete answerThis was a problem with having using namespace cv in a header, and then including windows headers.

using namespace ... in a header should be discouraged but a workaround for ACCESS_MASK issue could be to include Windows.h stuffs before of OpenCV.

Thank you. This helped.

I know this is old, but adding this in case anyone else gets stuck... Moving the using namespace cv; to the cpp files did not work for me. What did work is making sure that Windows.h ( or in my case, another third party header that included it), when included, is above the cv includes..

I just moved opencv includes and using namespace cv next to all includes and before functions and main and its solved

Thanks, it helped. I am using openframeworks, hence moving ofxmain.h to top sorted the issue.

A temporary fix is the change all instance in winn.h that has ACCESS_MASK to FIX_ME_ACCESS_MASK. This has worked fine for me so far. The only hassle is if any of your project references winn.h you gets bugs. other than that you are good to go.
