OpenCV on C++/Namespace issue? - c++

Question

I am new to C++ so I get some trouble to use openCV on my C++ project. I'm using Xcode as an IDE.
So I used brew to install opencv using the two command lines:
brew install opencv3 --with-ffmpeg --with-tbb --with-contrib
brew reinstall opencv3 --HEAD --with-python3 --with-ffmpeg --with-tbb --with-contrib
I checked the path to add to my project to load the library using recursivity, so I added on Xcode the path for header path and library:
/usr/local/Cellar/**
I also tried to install it another way, but still got the same issue:
brew install opencv
And adding the path to:
/usr/local/include/**
Everything seems to work since the library is detected, but import is not working because I got namespace errors in the openCV files, for instance:
No type named 'unique_ptr' in namespace 'std'
No member named 'allocator_traits' in namespace 'std'; did you mean 'allocator_arg_t'?
I checked on the internet and maybe it should be due to the the C++ language dialect or standard library, but I use GNU ++ 14 and libc++ . From what I found it should be working in that config, but I still got the issues. Do you have any ideas ?
EDIT: I don't even try to use it yet, I just used the include and print an hello:
#include <iostream>
#include "cv.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
std::cout<<"hello";
}
I also tried cv.hpp instead of cv.h, still not working
Thanks a lot !

I don't think you are using the correct #include paths, if you look at the OpenCV Example, you need the following for OpenCV 3.0 to open an image:
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgcodecs.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
None of these are like the headers that you have, which are likely for older versions.
This tutorial looks like a very sensible one to get up and running with xcode, and the example at the bottom looks like a better start
