Hello.

I'm using OpenCV 3.3.1 on Windows 7 64-bit and Visual Studio 2017.

EDIT:

Version of VS showed in Cmake as 15 2017: image description

I want to run my .exe on another PC. On target PC installed Win7(64-bit) but there are no Visual Studio and OpenCV.

How to make my application portable? I've tried to place necessary .dll files (opencv_core331d.dll, opencv_highgui331d.dll and so on) in folder with my .exe file, but it doesnt help. Moreover, I got error about missing VCRUNTIME140D.DLL and some others non-opencv libraries.

Is there detailed guidance about making OpenCV projects portable?

Regards

there's something weird here: VCRUNTIME140D.DLL is the VS2015 , not the VS2017 dependancy.

if you HAVE dlls like opencv_core331d.dll, it means, you built them locally. did you use the vc14 libs ? (not the vc15 ones)

ppl will have to install the redistributable for vs2015 , if it's not present on their system

I have checked settings in CMake, it says Visual Stidio 15 2017

use a program names"depends.exe" to find the dlls your app depends,and copy these dlls with your exe in a same folder

or instead of dynamic build, go for a static build, but that is a whole new world of pain, dependencies and order of dependencies :D

StevenPuttemans, am I correct, that for this option I need to rebuild my opencv? In CMake BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF

Yes, but you will have other dependencies popping up like jpg libs and such
