Great job, without your video I wouldn't be able to run Opencv on C++ without Visual Studio

hey thanks for your video, its works for latest version opencv

First of all, thank you, this is the best and easiest to follow tutorial on opencv. I have been able to compile some test projects without problems.

I have some doubts:

- The first time, I tried these steps with the latest version of opencv, 4.8.1, this didn't work. In the mingw32-make step, around 35%, it threw an error and stopped. I tried 4.8.0, 4.7.0, with the same results.

- Finally, with the same version you use in the video this step, mingw32-make, ended up with a 100% error but I was able to install it, and, it is working.

So far it's working fine but I'm worried that it might fail at any moment.

I'm on W10, with MinGW 12.2.0, CMake 3.27.7, opencv 4.5.0

Thanks again

I've been having a problem while running the mingw32-make line in the terminal. At some point it just stops building and throws a bunch of paths I don't understand.
