Visual Studio 2005 to VS 2008
- by Adi
hi all,
I am a newbie in working on VS IDE and have not much experience in how the different libraries and files are linked in it. I have to build a OpenCV project which was made in VS2005 by one of my colleagues into VS2008. The project is for blob detection.
Following is what he has to say in readme :
Steps to use the library (using MSVC++ sp 5):
1 - open the project of the library and build it
2 - in the project where the library should be used,
add:
2.1 In "Project/Settings/C++/Preprocessor/Additional Include
directories" add the directory where the blob library is stored
2.2 In "Project/Settings/Link/Input/Additional library path" add
the directory where the blob library is stored and in "Object/Library
modules" add the cvblobslib.lib file
3- Include the file "BlobResult.h" where you want to use blob variables.
4- To see an example on using the blob library, see the file
example.txt inside the zip file.
NOTE: Verify that in the project where the cvblobslib.lib is used, the MFC Runtime Libraries are not mixed:
Check in "Project-Settings-C/C++-Code Generation-Use run-time library" of your project and set it to
Debug Multithreaded DLL (debug version ) or to Multithreaded DLL ( release version ).
2 Check in "Project-Settings-General" how it uses the MFC. It should be "Use MFC in a shared DLL".
NOTE: The library can be compiled and used in .NET using this steps, but the menu options may differ a little
NOTE2: In the .NET version, the character sets must be equal in the .lib and in the project. [OpenCV yahoo group: Msg 35500]
Can anyone explain me , how to go about in doing this in VS2008. I would also appreciate if someone can explain me how the different libraries are linked , what is Debug, What is Release and all in a Visual Studio project folder we have.\
Thanks in advance
Aditya
