I am using Window 10, Visual Studio 2017. I have installed OpenCV properly and I can run some basic projects of C++ OpenCV that can be found around the internet. I have also followed this video [this video] which shows How to Build Open Source Projects Using CMake and Visual Studio . But, I can not run this project [LINK] on my machine. I try File->Open->CMake to open the CMakeLists.txt which can be found in the downloaded repository, and I get this error: [LINK] CMake Error at C:\Users\Majid\Desktop\imgwarp-opencv\imgwarp-opencv\src\CMakeLists.txt:2 (FIND_PACKAGE): By not providing "FindOpenCV.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided

The Issue I'm trying to use lipqxx to interact with a PostgreSQL database. However, despite #include-ing pqxx, its namespace doesn't seem to be recognized and as such no pqxx functions are recognized. (simplified code with annotations of issue below:) #include <iostream> #include <pqxx/pqxx> // no errors indicated in Visual Studio (VS) here. void Classname::operator() (){ // functor method implementation using namespace std; using namespace pqxx; // **red underline in Visual Studio indicating "name must be a namespace"** try{ connection C("String text"); // **red underline in VS: "identifier 'connection' is undefined"** }catch(const std::exception &e) { cerr << e.what() << std::endl; } } Wha
Cites Milad Rasouli · 2022-08 · Stack Overflow · on “gRPC compiling error with Clang/Visual Studio”
For a C++ project, I need to use gRPC. everything went well with MSVC143 compiler, And I did. but I'm using Clang compiler in Visual Studio 2022. So, it must build by Clang. I tired to do this, but, I'm getting too many errors at the compile time. Here, you can see them: [LINK] I did the whole instructions according to this tutorial [this video] . As I've said before. It works very well when I choose MSVC as compiler. It's pretty weird. What should I do? Future Information: Visual Studio 2022(it's the latest version). Clang version 13.0.1(it's the latest version as well). CMake version 3.24.1(it's the latest version as well). This article [LINK] says These steps require. I did them as well. Windo
