OpenCV installation VS 10 won't build

Question

I keep on trying to install OpenCV but there is always an Issue. The lastest thing I tried is this :

Setup OpenCV-2.3 for Visual Studio 2010

but after runing the core I get this error.

my Code

include

include

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { if (argc < 2) { printf("Usage: ./opencv_hello \n"); return -1; }

IplImage* img = cvLoadImage(argv[1], CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED); if (!img) {
return -1; }

cvNamedWindow("display", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE); cvShowImage("display", img );

cvWaitKey(0);        

return 0; }

Extra info: I copied the dll from opencv to the debug folder because before I had an error that some dll was not found.

Also, I'm a noob and this is my first major c++ personal project on the side. So it is the first time that I tried to use an extra library to create a program.

Thank you

Answer 1

For anyone getting the "Cannot find or open the PDB" warnings in future and googling this answer: this most likely means that you are including 32bit (x86) openCV libraries instead of 64bit (x64) ones

Answer 2

To use opencv with visual studio - start here How to build applications with OpenCV inside the Microsoft Visual Studio, it explains how to setup all the include and library paths correctly

Also you are mixing C++ headers and the old C function names - use the style in the example

Answer 3

Nm,

I used this code and it worked!

#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h> 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
 IplImage* img = cvLoadImage( "funny-pictures-cat-goes-pew.jpg" );
 cvNamedWindow( "MyJPG", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
 cvShowImage("MyJPG", img);
 cvWaitKey(0);
 cvReleaseImage( &img );
 cvDestroyWindow( "MyJPG" );
 return 0;
}
