Unless you're running a "bleeding edge" version of OpenCV (e.g., you cloned the git repository and compiled straight from source), there shouldn't be a reason why
the OpenCV library crashed on you.
I would suspect instead that you had a misconfigured development environment (not having all the compiled binaries in your PATH, for example), a bad build, a corrupted source tree, etc., assuming you used a stable version of OpenCV.
You concern me when your solution to your problem is to install OpenCV on Linux and run that on the Driver Station. Virtualization is very resource-intensive, and I would recommend not doing that on the master controller for the robot, especially with something running on VirtualBox as computationally intensive as computer vision. Instead, I would go back a few steps and look for the root cause of failure, and look at the documentation that OpenCV has on their website and fix your original Windows build. Just my $0.02.
And one more suggestion: I would consider using
OpenCV's Q&A site, where OpenCV experts are able to give you far better advice than me (and probably the rest of the CD community).
