OpenCV documentation here refers to a lib folder that doesn't exist after I checkout the OpenCV from the repository (https://code.ros.org/svn/opencv/branches/2.3). There is a lib folder that is only existend after I build under OpenCV/build/lib which has another folder called Debug. Can I just use this folder? instead and have C:\OpenCV\opencv\build\lib\Debug in my additional libraries in VS2008?

Indeed source from the repository has no prebuilt OpenCV binaries.
On Windows (MSVC) you need to build INSTALL project two times (in Debug and Release configurations). It will create an install folder with all needed binaries, headers and miscellaneous files.
By the way, OpenCV repository is recently migrated to the new hosting: http://code.opencv.org/svn/opencv/branches/2.3/

I am confused. What is the best way to install openCV to work with VS 2008 Professional? Install already built binary or build it through Cmake?? Which one is easier and just works? – Saher Ahwal Mar 26 '12 at 03:42
