vs 2012 express opencv configuration issue

asked 2013-09-29 02:07:03 -0600

Hello readers!

I am using opencv 2.4.6 x64 edition on VS 2012 express I have already added the include paths in project properties C:/opencv/build/include in VC++ conf and C++ conf, also I have already added the lib path to the linker C:\opencv\build\x64\vc11\lib and added the inputs... opencv_imgproce2.4.6...etc.

When I try to compile a simple code it shows some errors like these: Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _cvShowImage referenced in function _main C:\Users\User\Documents\Workspace\CV_Test1\CV_Test1\ Source.obj CV_Test1

Please help to understand why is this happening, and tell me what do you think I should do?

I have already added also to the system Path var this: "C:\opencv\build\x64\vc11\bin"

Did you add opencv_highgui246.lib?

I had 285 Errors in the link, but after switching the "Runtime library" option from "Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd)" to "Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd)", then I had only 133 Errors.

Then, after adding 6 more libraries from the same staticlib directory...

ilmimfd.lib libjasperd.lib libjpegd.lib libpngd.lib libtiffd.lib zlibd.lib

...and 2 more libraries that come from windows...

comctl32.lib vfw32.lib

...it now compiles, but there are a boatload of warnings of the type:

1>opencv_core246d.lib(alloc.obj) : warning LNK4099: PDB 'opencv_core246d.pdb' was not found with 'opencv_core246d.lib(alloc.obj)' or at 'c:\users\trevor\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\vipsSample\Debug\opencv_core246d.pdb'; linking object as if no debug info

1>opencv_core246d.lib(arithm.obj) : warning LNK4099: PDB 'opencv_core246d.pdb' was not found with 'opencv_core246d.lib(arithm.obj)' or at 'c:\users\trevor\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\vipsSample\Debug\opencv_core246d.pdb'; linking object as if no debug info

1>opencv_core246d.lib(array.obj) : warning LNK4099: PDB 'opencv_core246d.pdb' was not found with 'opencv_core246d.lib(array.obj)' or at 'c:\users\trevor\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\vipsSample\Debug\opencv_core246d.pdb'; linking object as if no debug info

The sample program does run now though.

I have the same issue. Tried to build with the x64 under Win32/x86. Then I switched it, but get many of the following errors:

Error 1 error LNK2038: mismatch detected for 'RuntimeLibrary': value 'MTd_StaticDebug' doesn't match value 'MDd_DynamicDebug' in vipsSample.obj c:\Users\Trevor\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\vipsSample\vipsSample\opencv_core246d.lib(alloc.obj) vipsSample

I know that there must be some VC switch to change "MD" to "MT", but I cannot find it.

Any help would be appreciated.

unresolved external symbol means that You're not linking with required library. If you DID explicitly set up linking with all the necessary libraries, but linking errors still show, you might be mixing up 64/32 bit libraries and application.

I.e. make sure that all library includes point to 64 bit version of libraries if you are building 64 bit application

Thank you for your kind response, I think I am using always the 64 bit edition, the path I use always is "C:\opencv\build\x64\vc11" but I will double check and I will tell you. In any case, I was wondering if maybe I need to configure VS2012 build conf in order to specify a 64bit build.

Also, maybe, is there the need of configuring the path variable to "C:\opencv\build\x64\vc11\bin" I was wondering how is going to find the linker the dlls? in the CV tutorials page, regarding the Path system var it only says that one must add this "C:\opencv\build\x64\vc11\"

Indeed FLY, it was a bad project configuration, I was building with 32b settings. Sorry I am new to 64 bit projects in VS2012.
