Hi, I would like to use the prebuilt binaries for opencv 3.0. The documentation says, the latest Visual studio version must be used. So, is it VS 2015?

Pardon me, but I have searched all over the place. I can't find a line that says "which version of Visual studio goes with prebuilt opencv 3.0?" . Could you clarify please? (Still better please let me know where this is specified as I am curious to know how I could have missed this in the docs.) Best T

When you download OpenCV 3.0 for Windows, you will find the following pre-built:

build/[x64|x86]/vc11/ ==> Visual Studio 2012
build/[x64|x86]/vc12/ ==> Visual Studio 2013

So the pre-built are only for these two version of Visual Studio, both for debug or release mode. If you want to use a more recent / older version of Visual Studio, you have to build it yourself using CMake.

VC correspondence:

vc8 ==> Visual Studio 2005
vc9 ==> Visual Studio 2008
vc10 ==> Visual Studio 2010
vc11 ==> Visual Studio 2012
vc12 ==> Visual Studio 2013

Ah! I see. If I downloaded it, I would have known. Alright. Thank you very much for the clear answer. Since, I have vc10, guess I have to build it using cmake.
