I am migrating my software from OpenCv 3.2.0 to 4.10.0. I need to have support of the **dnn\_superres** module. According to [this](https://forum.opencv.org/t/where-is-the-dnn-superres-hpp-located/18434) the only way to do so is to build OpenCV myself. When i look at the OpenCV 4.1.0 .exe package from GitHub a single .LIB and .DLL are provided for release builds: **opencv\_world4100.lib** and **opencv\_world4100.dll** This is what i want. But when i build the source myself i get several .LIB and .DLL. How to fix that? Here how i generate the SLN from command line: **cmake -B build -G “Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64”** ---

among the cmake variables is something called “world”. enable that. ---

**BUILD\_opencv\_world** did it thank you! I didnt see cmake GUI has a search button
