Fuck. I just want to fucking use OpenCV on CLion on Windows. Why the fuck do I need twenty fucking PhD's in quantum rocket science to set up a simple project with Cmake?

During the time I just wasted trying to get the correct library to link properly, I could have rewritten all of Tesla's fucking CV functionality from scratch, but instead here I am spending literal fucking hours googling why the fuck does 'recursive_mutex' not name a fucking type in namespace 'std' on mingw.

Fuck C++ I'm going back to C# where I can literally install OpenCV and all of its fucking dependencies from nuget with ***ONE*** fucking click.

    Can't you use pre configured docker container for that? And link them via networking?

    Mingw is quite literally the last in line. If you're going that route, you should probably just spin a Linux instance.

    @heyheni I don't have any experience with docker. Maybe this would be a great opportunity to start learning it.

    @SortOfTested The problem is that CLion uses the mingw toolchain by default.

    Only on windows. You can also set it up to use wsl or cygwin, but that won't improve matters much.
