Hi, I have a fatal unresolved external error when I'm trying to compile programs in opencv 3.0.0. Now I know that this question was asked many times but my problem is specific.

I installed opencv 3.0.0 in the "C:\" directory.
I created an empty project in Visual Studio 2012 (win32 console application).
I entered into the properties of the project's solution, and added the directory "C:\opencv\build\include" in "Additional Include Directories".
In the Linker, I added the directory "C:\opencv\build\x64\vc12\lib" in "Additional Library Directories" (I'm working with a 64-bit operating system). Then I added the files "opencv_ts300d.lib" and "opencv_world300d.lib" in "Additional Dependencies" (I'm working only in debug mode).

As far as I know these are the steps needed in order to run programs in opencv 3.0.0. But when I wrote the following code

include "opencv2\core\core.hpp"

include "opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp"

using namespace cv;

void main()

{

    Mat img = imread("C:/BlackWhite.jpg", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED);
    getchar();

}

I get an unresolved external for the function "imread". Why is that? Please I will be grateful for any answer I can get. Thanks in advance.

In OpenCV 2.4.x, cv::imread was provided in highgui module.
But, this function moved to imgcodecs module from OpenCV 3.0.

So, you need to include "opencv2\imgcodecs\imgcodecs.hpp" and
link opencv_imgcodecs300d.lib to use this function.

you're right about the changes, but the weird thing is:the prebuilt opencv_world300.lib should contain all of those modules

Sorry, I was overlooking opencv_world300d.lib.
I found the following point.

[Library path]

Compiler: Visual Studio 2012
Library path: C:\opencv\build\x64\vc12\lib

I think that you need to set C:\opencv\build\x64\vc11\lib for Visual Studio 2012(VC11).

[Solution platform]

I created an empty project in Visual Studio 2012 (win32 console application).

I think that you need to change Solution platform from Win32 to x64.

Thanks for the answers! It seems that indeed VC12 is destined to work only with visual studio 2013, so I changed the path to VC11. Also, as suggested, I had to change, in the configuration manager, the target platform to be x64 instead of win32.

After that I found out that the program cannot be executed in debug mode (since as I understand, the debug mode at this time is not distributable...?) So I had to do anything that was suggested but in release mode and then it finally worked. Thanks!
