I’m relatively new to CMAKE and OpenCV in c++, and can’t seem to get it working.

• My CMAKE –version = 3.28.2.
• I added the x64 bin and lib from OpenCV to my path.
• I used this command to create the CMake project: cmake -G
  “MinGW Makefiles” ..

And this is the CMake file, simple for testing:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)

project(OpenCVTest)

find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)

include_directories(${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS})

add_executable(OpenCVTest main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(OpenCVTest ${OpenCV_LIBS})

Now, when I try to build. I receive this error:

-- OpenCV ARCH: x64
-- OpenCV RUNTIME: mingw
-- OpenCV STATIC: OFF
CMake Warning at C:/OpenCV/opencv/build/OpenCVConfig.cmake:190 (message):
  Found OpenCV Windows Pack but it has no binaries compatible with your
  configuration.

  You should manually point CMake variable OpenCV_DIR to your build of OpenCV
  library.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package)


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    C:/OpenCV/opencv/build/OpenCVConfig.cmake

  but it set OpenCV_FOUND to FALSE so package "OpenCV" is considered to be
  NOT FOUND.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:178: cmake_check_build_system] Error 1

And I just don’t understand how to fix it. I have seen and tried some solutions online which I didn’t understand either.

Sorry for the noob question, I’m trying to understand what is happening, so I can figure it out by myself next time, but right now I need some help
