Linking OpenCV to XCode

Wow, Finally solved:

Some considerations:

• Realize that even it is looking for -l opencv_core.2.4.6, the compiler will get the right file, if it is added correctly with other name, in this case libopencv_core.2.4.dylib
• I was adding the files with Project>Add files to... and then creating a group and dragging the files into the group. This was messing up the linkings in Project>Link Binary with Libraries. So I had to do it again by dragging the files in the group into that spot.

After theses things I had the situation where I had the two files (core and highgui) and 4 errors:

Then (thanks God and some days of googling) I got this:

Select your project, go to the Build Settings tab, filter by c++ standard library, and set this parameter to libstdc++ (GNU C++ standard library).

And finally it was sunny again in my code environment...
