This repository contains the prebuilt binaries of OpenCV-4.9.0 for C++ development on MingW64.

This is my preferred way to install these files. You can adjust it to your like but the crucial ones are bolded.

1. Download the repository or clone it.
2. Create a folder named OpenCV (or you can use the name of the repo, OpenCV-4.9.0-MinGW64) and copy all the files inside the repo to it.
3. Put OpenCV to wherever you like.
4. Add the path {Path to OpenCV}\x64\mingw\bin to your PATH environment variable. This is required for the OS to locate the binary DLL files when you execute your program. I suggest you to install MinGW64 using MSYS2.

You cannot link against the binary files provided by this repo in your Microsoft C++ workflow. Binary files produced by MinGW64 C++ compiler use a different name mangling scheme than that Microsoft uses internally.
