run cmake with `-D BUILD_opencv_world=OFF` (or find that key in `cmake-gui`) that’ll link individual modules rather than one big `world` module. or do what the error says, which is some configuration in the stated VS project. ---

Thanks, Because that is a part of my project, i need xxxx\_wordyyy.lib for another project. Is there a way to overcome that instead of turning it off? ---

I tried some ways but still get error, the error code is no longer existed on visual studio 2015 64bit. Is there away to remove unused extra modules to get a smaller project? ---

yes, uncheck those you don’t want in `cmake-gui`. that’s the easiest method. ---

do they depend on each other ? List of objects that we used on our project: ``` cv::ogl::Texture2D cv::Exception cv::cuda::GpuMat cv::InputArray cv::String cv::VideoCapture cv::Mat cv::VideoCaptureProperties cv::cuda::cvtColor cv::cuda::split cv::Size cv::cuda::resize cv::ogl::Texture2D cv::cuda::getCudaEnabledDeviceCount cv::cuda::cvtColor cv::demosaicing cv::ogl::Buffer cv::cuda::SparsePyrLKOpticalFlow::create cv::Point2f cv::Point2f cv::cuda::cvtColor cv::Point2f cv::Ptr cv::cuda::SparsePyrLKOpticalFlow cv::flip cv::cuda::getCudaEnabledDeviceCount ``` How do we address which modules they come ? Or we could use another builder tool instead msbuilder ---

you’ll need - surely: core, highgui, videoio - maybe: imgproc, imgcodecs - make sure to keep `WITH_OPENGL` - cudaoptflow, cudastereo, not sure what else I can’t say what you won’t need. some modules might depend on each other. the cmake configuration step will tell you if anything conflicts. run `print(cv.getBuildInformation())` if you want to see the final report from the cmake configuration step. it lists the modules. example: ```nohighlight OpenCV modules: To be built: alphamat aruco bgsegm bioinspired calib3d ccalib core datasets dnn dnn_objdetect dnn_superres dpm face features2d flann freetype fuzzy hfs highgui img_hash imgcodecs imgproc intensity_transform line_descriptor mcc ml objdetect optflow phase_unwrapping photo plot python3 quality rapid reg rgbd saliency sfm shape stereo stitching structured_light superres surface_matching text tracking ts video videoio videostab viz wechat_qrcode xfeatures2d ximgproc xobjdetect xphoto Disabled: gapi java_bindings_generator js_bindings_generator objc_bindings_generator python_tests world Disabled by dependency: - Unavailable: cnn_3dobj cudaarithm cudabgsegm cudacodec cudafeatures2d cudafilters cudaimgproc cudalegacy cudaobjdetect cudaoptflow cudastereo cudawarping cudev cvv hdf java julia matlab ovis python2 Applications: apps Documentation: NO Non-free algorithms: YES ``` ---

most people either - only build the main repository and no contrib code (cuda is contrib), then the world library’s size is manageable - _don’t_ link everything into a `world` library but individual module libraries (opencv\_core, opencv\_highgui, …) your other project doesn’t have to link against opencv\_world. it can just as well link against the specific module libraries it actually uses. `ppencv_world` is a mere convenience. one might even say it’s for lazy people. ---

You meant that we should attach contrib modules into the project instead of putting them on opencv\_world ? ---

no, I’m saying to set `BUILD_opencv_world=OFF` and then > [@Jimmy\_Hung](#): > > i need xxxx\_wordyyy.lib for another project in **that** project you do _not_ link against opencv\_world but against opencv\_core and whatever other modules you actually use there. or to set that configuration in VS that your error message told you to set. you have a choice here. both ways work. ---
