Hi,
I am trying to setup Open CV on my Eclipse C/C++ dev environment using MinGW, G++ compiler. I am trying to run a simple program based on the tutorial posted her in the link http://tommy.chheng.com/development/windows_development_setup.html 

The error is saying some thing like below on console.

g++ -omcc.exe mc.o -l C:\OpenCV2.0\include\opencv\cv.h
C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lC:\OpenCV2.0\include\opencv

I have tried many linker path setting changes and it says the same for all the include -l files. 
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Setup C++ project with Opencv libraries and MINGW tool chain
2.Create a program using OpenCv as shown in the given link
3.Build the code
