Create an OpenCV 4 Project in Visual Studio [C++]

In this tutorial we take a look at how to use the OpenCV files we built in the previous video to create an OpenCV C++ project in Visual Studio.

You have ABSOLUTELY no idea how much you have helped me here. I may have just passed my course because of your wonderful setup video. PLEASE don't stop making more videos, your channel and you are LOVELY.

Bro! You saved my job!!! I can't be more grateful to you. I used to do all this in Python, but my boss told me to use C++. Thanks a lot.

[robertt.]

What a wonderful tutorial! Very detailed and every intermediate step perfectly explained. I spent min. 10 hours with other bad inconsistent tutorials and almost despaired. I am so incredibly grateful to you!!!

For anyone reading this, save yourself some time in configuring the additional dependencies and use the command "dir /B *d.lib > debugLib.txt"

Great video! It's been so long since I've messed with C++ that I forgot how to setup the libraries for a project.

That is a pure gold info. I remember couple of years ago doing this on my own for at least couple of painful days.
Thanks Captain!

[OutLan]

Wow. I never knew the ALT+SHIFT+I trick. You learn something new every day.

[BartoszKomar]

I've just set-up project with OpenCV 4.52 so your tutorial is still actual. Thanks a lot!

You're a life saver, thank you for the initial build and installation video and this setup video, these videos were so helpful.

[taktail]

thank you. you fixed my depression and brain bleed from trying to figure this out.

[MauFeitioO]

I just want to say that i love you, thanks for the help, openCV and visual studio were getting me crazy

[lostree]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!! <3

[santoshkumarjami]

Really such a nice and clear explanation which saved my time and created interest in learning OpenCV. Thanks a lot

[garybey]

Thank you. Your video saved me a lot of trouble.

Great video! Tip: Use powershell instead to get libraries
Get all d.lib: Get-ChildItem "C:\yourpath" -Name -Filter *d.lib
Get all non d.lib: Get-ChildItem "C:\yourpath" -Name -Exclude *d.lib

Awesome video, made it super easy to get started with OpenCV Development. Thanks.

[karayakar]

Great tutorial, opencv 4.3.0 tested and works. I had an issue with the libraries, after recompiling release and debug I was able to solve. Thanks.

[niloofarkp]

Thank you so much for the video! it was really helpful.

I did exactly the steps followed and however the opencv/tracking.hpp is not working. When I try to include that libaray into my opencv source file it shows an error. I have google so much unfortunately nothing has come of it. I configured using make and have done the solution build more the 10 times now. With no progress.

I am having trouble making my app standalone, I get errors about not having OpenCV, etc. when on other machines. So if I wanted to make my application a standalone EXE that I could send to anyone, I would make my project inside the build folder that we created because that contains all the OpenCV files. Then I just need to build in release and it should be good?

[name_nils]

Thank you saviour,

Since this wasn't the first video i watched on getting opencv i have downloaded and destroyed my hard drive with probably 20 different opencv and other files that i thought i needed, anything to code in c++ i geuss. 🙃
