Linker errors when building openCV from source

I'm trying to build OpenCV, including CUDA, from source in VS2010, following the instructions here: http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/windows_install/windows_install.html

I'm getting multiple Build Faileds, but the only error that seems to be appearing in the output is "LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '....\lib\Debug\opencv_core300d.lib'", multiple times.

I've searched through this section of the site, and the only suggested answer for someone who had the same error was 'create a property sheet with the correct linker settings', which is obviously useless as I can't link to a library that hasn't been built yet!

I'm also a bit confused as to why it's looking for a filename ending '300d.lib', I thought the latest version was 2.4.7..? Did that installation guide instruct me to download the wrong version?
