Visual Studio 2012 and OpenCV 2.4.9 [closed]

edit

1. most probably not. (though the supplied libs are kinda bare-metal. if you want cuda/ocl/tbb/whatever support, you will have to recompile using cmake

2. yes, for sure.

3. for the include path, yes.

I'm really close to getting this running. Let me list my steps so I can make sure everyone who wants to comment can get an idea of what I'm dealing with

1. Downloaded the .exe.
2. Installed it into a C:\OpenCV2.4 folder
3. Created a C++ console empty App and configured the Win32 App Wizard.
4. Opened the Property Manager and created 2 Property Sheets(*debug.props(dfiles) & *.release.props(regular)).
5. Added the 19 libraries to each prop and configured the lib & Include settings.
6. Created a source file and coded with sample code to test my app.
7. Added an image to my solution and reference it in my code.
8. Compiled the code.
9. The Error message I received, opencv_core249.dll is missing.

You need to modify the PATH environment variable to point to the directory that contains the DLLs. You are almost there.

This is so weird. The system can't find it but when I go to the bin folder I can see it.

So here's what I've done. I edited the environment/system variable and put this in.

OpenCV2.4_DIR (My OpenCV folder name is OpenCV2.4)

C:\OpenCV2.4\opencv\build\x86\vc11\bin

This should work, right? Maybe I need to reboot my machine.

I have to edit the "Path" Variable. Thanks.

Now I'm getting some kind of Access violation.

Here's the details from the output window:

Here's the link to my text file with my full output, http://1drv.ms/1oSYJUd

This is my final error message, I don't get breaks in my code now. It compiles but exits: The text file is here, http://1drv.ms/1uJXO0t

I think my issue is PDB files.

Try recompiling the code (Rebuild Solution). Also make sure that the code is being compiled in 32-bit mode (x86) since that is what you have in your PATH variable.

I talked with Microsoft today. This is what they told me.

For “Cannot find or open the PDB file”, PDB is a debug information file used by Visual Studio. These are system DLLs, which you don’t have debug symbols for. Go to Tools->Options->Debugging->Symbols and select checkbox "Microsoft Symbol Servers", Visual Studio will download PDBs automatically. Or you may just ignore these warnings if you don't need to see correct call stack in these modules.

Here's screenshot of what happens, http://1drv.ms/VzeDMG

I selected all but there was options for all or specified files and I'm asking for clarification about this and will post a final comment.

All my symbols loaded except for these two:

'ConsoleApplication1.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\OpenCV2.4\opencv\build\x86\vc11\bin\opencv_core249d.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.

'ConsoleApplication1.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\OpenCV2.4\opencv\build\x86\vc11\bin\opencv_highgui249d.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.

Is this an OpenCV issue?

Also, I tried the rebuild solution comment by unxnut and it's still the same issue, the 2 files mentioned above.
