+Notes for the Debian OpenCV packages:
+
+ To compile code against OpenCV, use `pkg-config --cflags opencv`:
+
+ gcc `pkg-config --cflags opencv` -c code.c -o code.o
+
+ To link it afterwards, use `pkg-config --libs opencv`:
+
+ gcc code.o -o code `pkg-config --libs opencv` -lotherlibs
+
+ There is currently no way to exclude libcvaux or libhighgui from the
+link process. I will talk with upstream about this.
