OpenCV 2.3 and Visual Studio 2010

Question

I am having so much trouble installing openCV 2.3 with visual studio 2010. Crash after crash, installation after installation and after several weeks I\'ve had no luck. Unfo

Answer 1

I got exactly the same problem. I couldn't read any image. I checked the data flag and image size. The flag indicated error and the size was always (0, 0). Although I do not know the actual cause, I somehow could avoid the problem and run my program fine.

At first, I compiled OpenCV myself. Even though all the dlls seemed to be created correctly and there was no build error, I noticed that the header folders are not correctly organized. Therefore, I switched to the superpack binary and tried static linking. There were a lot of undefined symbols at the beginning, so I basically just put everything into VS link options. The number of libraries I had to input to VS was quite absurd, but it is a good way to test if the superpack works.

These are what I use. opencv_core230d.lib;opencv_calib3d230d.lib;opencv_contrib230d.lib;opencv_features2d230d.lib;opencv_highgui230d.lib;opencv_legacy230d.lib;opencv_ml230d.lib;opencv_imgproc230d.lib;opencv_video230d.lib;libjasperd.lib;libjpegd.lib;libpngd.lib;libtiffd.lib;zlibd.lib;

I also need to input Comctl32.lib to resolve linking error.

I tested my program with static libraries of superpack. Things work fine now. The headers I used are

#include 
#include 

I do not try using dlls yet, but I can confirm that VS 2010 + OpenCV 2.3 64 bit from the superpack work. I hope you will have some luck with the superpack too.

(Hmm, I can't remember if I put opencv.hpp in the opencv2 folder myself, or if it was there right from the beginning. I did a lot of things to make it work and was a bit confused. But, I believe you can figure this out yourself if there is anything wrong about the header.)

Hope this helps, Pinyo
