g++ compiler not working for opencv installed inside ros-fuerte

Hi,

I have installed ros-fuerte-desktop-full and with it opencv got installed. Opencv code is working inside any ros package that I create. However, some times I like to work outside ROS and have Geany installed. I have given the following set build command to geany for compilation

g++ "%f" `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv` -o "%e"

When I try to build it says:

Package opencv was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `opencv.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. No package 'opencv' found.

My PKG_CONFIG_PATH already contains opencv.pc file. Here is the output of some flags:

#echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
/opt/ros/fuerte/lib/pkgconfig:   //this path contains opencv.pc

#pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv
-I/opt/ros/fuerte/include/opencv -I/opt/ros/fuerte/include  -L/opt/ros/fuerte/lib -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_contrib -lopencv_core -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_flann -lopencv_gpu -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_legacy -lopencv_ml -lopencv_nonfree -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_photo -lopencv_stitching -lopencv_ts -lopencv_video -lopencv_videostab

#pkg-config --libs opencv
-L/opt/ros/fuerte/lib -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_contrib -lopencv_core -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_flann -lopencv_gpu -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_legacy -lopencv_ml -lopencv_nonfree -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_photo -lopencv_stitching -lopencv_ts -lopencv_video -lopencv_videostab

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like you're on the right path.

My best guess is that something inside the build system for Geany is unsetting or overriding your PKG_CONFIG_PATH. It may also be worth invoking Geany from a terminal after you've sourced the ROS setup files, instead of launching it directly from the GUI.

This is pretty weird. Yes something inside Geany is doing making the shift. Anyway, I can compile even using terminal by command: g++ filename.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv` -o output. Looks fine for me. Thanks.
