I was very excited to see access to [OpenCV via Julia](https://github.com/JuliaOpenCV/LibOpenCV.jl) but have had a bit of a run-around trying to get it to work. When trying to build the package, I get an error related to the Cxx.jl package that was flagged [here](https://github.com/Keno/Cxx.jl/issues/293). This seems to have put a stop to windows users going the Julia-\>OpenCV route. My next thought was that if I can call python code via PyCall.jl and I can access OpenCV via python, I should be able to access the functionality via Julia-\>python-\>OpenCV. Unfortunately though, I installed python via Conda as recommended on the [PyCall.jl page](https://github.com/JuliaPy/Conda.jl) and getting OpenCV up in running via this implementation of python is less than intuitive.  
I am wondering if anyone has had success accessing OpenCV functionality via Julia on a Windows machine.
