Description

Hello,

There is a problem in the build system of OpenCV under Windows, that makes a program using OpenCV very hard to redistribute.

In the CMake configuration, there is the definition of _BIND_TO_CURRENT_CRT_VERSION. Thus, the different libs built by OpenCV are linked with the latest mscvcrt known by Visual Studio. The problem is that the latest mscvrt known by Visual Studio may not be the same as the latest msvcrt from the "Microsoft C++ Redistributable package" that an end-user should install.
Actually, because of updates of Visual, the latest msvcrt from developer is 9.0.30729.4148
In the latest vc_redist_x86.exe, the msvcrt is 9.0.30729.1
So, a user who does not have Visual Studio cannot run a program linked dynamically with OpenCV.

If you set _BIND_TO_CURRENT_CRT_VERSION to 0 in the makefile, VisualStudio will makes references to a compatible msvcrt.

Regards,

Pierre Chatelier
