Description

I tried installing this module to a folder with `%desktop%\Папки\projects\OpenCVTest` path, but it failed with 36 errors that were encountered during compiling.
As you can see, the folder path contains a cyrillic word in it - 'Папки'. It was incorrectly encoded and Visual Studio compiler tried to find some files in the wrong directory.

I then tried to install this module to a different folder, this time without the cyrillic characters. It compiled without any errors.

I guess the README should include that you can't have incorrect (...or, maybe, just cyrillic?) characters in folder path...

-----------

Sorry for merging two issues into one, but why in README there is not a single word that i should install cmake before installing this module?
