I had this exact same problem a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t find an answer anywhere !
After messing around with it, I found out exactly how to do it.

1) Compile the library using Cmake. http://www.cmake.org/

2) After your library is compiled you should have two different OpenCV libraries – a compiled one, and a non-compiled one.

3)In Code Blocks, click on Settings (In the File Menu). Under Settings, select Compiler and Debugger.

4)Select the Search Directories tab.Select the compiler tab under search directories. Click Add. Browse to your NON-COMPILED version of the library. In the non-compiled directory, select the include folder. Under the include folder, select OpenCV. Click OK

5)In codeblocks, select the linker tab, which is under the Search Directories tab.. Click on add and this time browse to your COMPILED version of the library. In the compiled directory, select the lib folder and click OK.

6) Go to the linker settings tab in codeblocks. Click Add. Browse to the COMPILED version of the library. In the compiled directory select lib. In the lib folder select all the libraries. Make sure to only select only the dynamic library files (.dylib extention)

7) Codeblocks is setup!

8) Run your project and it should work fine.
