Opencv compilation is not working using -lopencv_videoio - c++

Question

I have installed opencv2.
pkg-config --modversion opencv
2.4.13.5
I am using below code,
#include <iostream>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
using namespace std;
using namespace cv;
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
VideoCapture vid(0);
if(!vid.isOpened()){
cout<<"Camera could not load..."<<endl;
return -1;
}
namedWindow("webcam",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
while(1){
Mat frame;
bool ctrl = vid.read(frame);
imshow("webcam",frame);
if(waitKey(0) == 27){
cout<<"The app is ended..."<<endl;
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
I compiled using, g++ image_writer.cpp
/tmp/ccPWmgA0.o: In function main':
image_writer.cpp:(.text+0x38): undefined reference tocv::VideoCapture::VideoCapture(int)'
image_writer.cpp:(.text+0x47): undefined reference to cv::VideoCapture::isOpened() const'

image_writer.cpp:(.text._ZN2cv3Mat7releaseEv[_ZN2cv3Mat7releaseEv]+0x47): undefined reference tocv::Mat::deallocate()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
After surfing I found, I have to include lib file
so, I did this. g++ image_writer.cpp -lopencv_videoio
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencv_videoio
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
I don't know how to fix this. please help me how to fix this. Any hint would be appreciable.
EDIT-1:
pkg-config --libs opencv returns,
-L/usr/local/lib -lopencv_contrib -lopencv_stitching -lopencv_nonfree -lopencv_superres -lopencv_ocl -lopencv_ts -lopencv_videostab -lopencv_gpu -lopencv_photo -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_legacy -lopencv_video -lopencv_ml -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_flann -lopencv_core -lQtCore -lQtTest -lQtGui -lQtOpenGL -lIlmThread -lHalf -lIex -lIlmImf -lImath -ljasper -ltiff -lpng -ljpeg -lswscale-ffmpeg -lavutil-ffmpeg -lavformat-ffmpeg -lavcodec-ffmpeg -lv4l2 -lv4l1 -ldc1394 -lgstpbutils-0.10 -lgstriff-0.10 -lgstapp-0.10 -lgstvideo-0.10 -lxml2 -lglib-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgstbase-0.10 -lGLU -lGL -lz -latomic -ltbb -lrt -lpthread -lm -ldl -lstdc++

Answer 1

The OpenCV "library" is really a collection of multiple libraries, and you usually need to link with multiple libraries.
The simple solution is to use pkg-config --libs opencv to get all linker flags and libraries that are needed:
g++ image_writer.cpp `pkg-config --libs opencv`

Answer 2

compilation using cmake
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(ImageWriter)
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} "image_writer.cpp")
FIND_PACKAGE(OpenCV REQUIRED )
include_directories(${OPENCV_INCLUDE_DIRS})
message(" cv_libs: " ${OpenCV_LIBS})
message(" cv_includes: " ${OPENCV_INCLUDE_DIRS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${PROJECT_NAME} ${OpenCV_LIBS})
