Answer 1

Configure Visual Studio

Open VC++ Directories configuration: Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > VC++ Directories

Choose "Show directories for: Include files" Add "$openCVDir\include\opencv" Choose "Show directories for: Library files" Add "$openCVDir\lib" Choose "Show directories for: Source files" Add "$openCVDir\src\cv" Add "$openCVDir\src\cvaux" Add "$openCVDir\src\cxcore" Add "$openCVDir\src\highgui" Configure your Project

After you've created a project you'll need to add the OpenCV dependencies.

Open Project Properties: Project > %projectName% Properties... Open Linker Input properties: Configuration Properties > Linker > Input Open the "..." window to edit "Additional Dependencies" and on each line put: "cv210.lib" "cxcore210.lib" "highgui210.lib" And any other lib file necessary for your project Your project should now build. If you get any errors try restarting Visual Studio and then doing a clean Rebuild.

Answer 2

SO is not a debugger, but this error report is basically telling you it can't open 'cxcore200d.lib'. That is your problem. There are also 19 warnings you might want to look at.
