How do we modify OpenCV and generate new DLLs

Question

The OpenCV library is awesome. However, most functions have the necessary functions, however I would like to change some functions and recompile to fit my specific needs. how do we recompile dll and other files? Is there a built-in script or do we need to write all the scripts ourselves?

Answer 1

According to the installation guide, you will need CMake to compile it on Windows.

I found this tutorial that shows step by step how to compile OpenCV 2.0 on Windows, but I believe that the instructions also apply for compiling OpenCV 2.1.

This flow is directly related to what you intend.
