Setting OpenCV 2.3.1 on VS2008 and 2010

Hi all

       This is a simple tutorial for setting Opencv 2.3.1 library on Windows 7 .

Procedure :
  • Download Visual c++  2008 Express Edition through web-install 

  • Install Opencv 2.3.1 into C:\ProgramFiles
  • OpenVisual c++ and create an empty project .

  • Add a cpp file for Coding :
  • Right click on Sourcefile->Add->Newitem .Select .cpp and give a name to cpp file

  • Setup Include Dir and Link folders as per screenshots
Switch to Release Mode as shown in fig



Include Directory Setup


Link Directory setup

Note:Diffrence between VS2008 and 2010 is in this step only
You need to replace vc9 with vc10 .


Additional Dependencies



Simple code to try 

#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp"
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main(int argc,
char *argv[]
)


{
Mat image;
image=imread("C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\Jellyfish.jpg",1);
imshow("result",image);
waitKey();


return 0;
}


Press F5 to build and run program or F7 to build program only

Please add this path for .dll's into your tutorial. When trying i got Error because of missing core231.dll ...
But instead of this missing dll. Its realy the best tut for setting opencv on vs. Thank you!

I think you are using opencv 2.4.6 , but the current tutorial tells about setting opencv 2.3.1,so dll will be diffrent. i think you need to set an environmental variable of the .dll path.

the program above already worked... but the second one.

"How to do OpenCV haar-training in Windows 7"

Hi Michael

Are you trying to build ObjectMarker.cpp now? Actually try to understand the procedures of setting a opencv library path on visual studio first. Then set into an empty project like i do. Please dont depend on test project that i given.

Then try to build object marker.cpp as mentioned in training post. I think you can start with a fresh project rather than test project.

Thanks very much for this clear content! I was using a version OpenCV version 2.4.3 for a time and one could make this work also with MSVC++ Express 2010 by simplifying the include directory setup shown by simply inputting C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.4.3\build\include and that's it. This assumes that OpenCV 2.4.3 is installed in /Program Files when using x64 system.
