Beginner issue, opencv prebuild dll (in 343) - LNK1107 error?
I am trying to use opencv through the build\bin\opencv_ffmpeg_343.dll for a win32 application made in c++. Due to the project nature then I would like to reference the prebuild dll.
I keep getting a Linker error LNK1107 0x330, so compile is fine (headers are included)
1>C:\sharedlibs\opencv\build\bin\opencv_ffmpeg343.dll : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x330
Win10 on 64 bit, VS2015
I suspected that it was due to our requirement to use multichar, however the failure is the same using unicode in a clean test project.
Any idea on what might be the cause - or does someone have a clean vs2015 project that uses the prebuild so I can compare to my broken setup?

You cannot give a dll file as input for linker, give a .lib
opencv_ffmpeg343.dll has to be on your PATH. it will get linked dynamically at runtime via dlopen() etc.
you don't have to do anything about it in visualstudio.
but please clarify:
what does that mean ? rebuild ? what did you do there ?
typo fixed. I basically try to use the .dll using the header files from the build\include
and again, you're not expected, to use that dll directly in any way in your project.
if you use
VideoCapture(some_filename)it will try to load the dll, and resolve some functions inside on its own.
