    I don't know how your IDE handles these things, but by convention the '-l' expands to 'lib' i.e. to link libopencv_highgui.so you would specify that as
    -lopencv_highgui not -llibopencv_highgui.so

    the lib prefix is in the main filename in the new version of the opencv , so files are named like this: libopencv_highgui.so libopencv_flann.so

    Re: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibopencv_highgui.so

    all libraries on unix systems start with lib and end with .so (+ possible versioning suffixes like .so.1) or .a (static library)
    so you don't have to specify it, the compiler it will fill it in
    libopencv_highgui.so -> -lopencv_highgui
    etc.
    in your ide you probably just have to remove the lib and the .so from your settings
