Hello, there! I'm currently working on Visual Studio 2013, and using OpenCV 3, and one thing that has cropped up regularly as an issue is the PDB not being able to be found. So, after generating in CMake and including all the necessary folders, as well as building the output in the "Bin" folder to avoid missing .dll errors, and activating the Microsoft Symbol Server... There are still issues about files I cannot build in Visual Studio to obtain the PDB files, which are shown below:

So my question, if you might spare some time, would be: How do I get around this? Is there anyway to get Visual Studio to stop checking for PDB? Will I always have to have Microsoft Symbol Server activated? Is there a better alternative to Visual Studio 2013? Why is it so hard just to get OpenCV to work on what seems to be a pretty commonly used IDE?
Thanks for your time, and sorry if the question is rather often dealt-with! I'll gladly provide more information if any is desired!
