The problem
I'm trying to build a project in Visual Studio 2015 on Win10 that makes use of libssh, but I'm having no luck getting it to work. I feel like I'm losing my mind here. I'm either completely blanking out or missing something incredibly obvious.
I've tried using the installer libssh-0.7.2-msvc.exe from the files section at https://red.libssh.org/projects/libssh/files. I then linked it to a test C++ project in VS2015. Using the sample code I'm able to compile it:
#include <iostream>
#define LIBSSH_STATIC
#include <libssh/libssh.h>
int main() {
std::cout << "Starting libssh test" << std::endl;
ssh_session my_ssh_session = ssh_new();
if (my_ssh_session == NULL) {
std::cout << "Failed to initialize" << std::endl;
}
ssh_free(my_ssh_session);
return 0;
}
(Note: I've tried both #define LIBSSH_STATIC and #define LIBSSH_STATIC 1 based on posts I've seen from my initial search for answers. I've even tried adding it to the preprocessor definitions in project properties.)
I can only compile it if my project is set to 32-bit, but I can't run the resulting executable. Doing so results in an error: "The code execution cannot proceed because ssh.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I'm statically linking ssh.lib, though, so I'm not sure why I'm even getting that error.
So I tried compiling libssh myself as 64-bit. It took some more tinkering than I expected (I had some issues with zlib, which eventually I just omitted since it's optional). I can compile my project as a 64-bit executable successfully, but once again, I can't actually run it. I get the same error about ssh.dll being missing.
For the sake of trying it, I removed the LIBSSH_STATIC define and tried to link just to the DLL. Copying the ssh.dll from the libssh distribution into my program folder and trying to run it, I get the error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but I'm sure it's dumb and I'm overthinking it.
Project settings (all configurations, all platforms)
libssh is installed to G:\Libraries\libssh_0.7.2 on my machine.
Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories > Include Directories
G:\Libraries\libssh_0.7.2\include;$(IncludePath)
Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories > Library Directories
G:\Libraries\libssh_0.7.2\lib;$(LibraryPath)
Configuration Properties > Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies

libssh path summary
libssh_0.7.2
bin
ssh.dll
include
libssh
callbacks.h
legacy.h
libssh.h
libsshpp.hpp
server.h
sftp.h
ssh2.h
lib
ssh.lib
Install vkpkg
⊞ Win+X and open the powershell
Input vckpg install libssh:x64-windows
Integrate into Visual Studio: vcpkg integrate install
Then you can include <libssh.h> in Visual Studio.

I have found two similar questions this and this .
But they both use opencv, and opencv indeed provide the corresponding lib. I don't use opencv, and my project is very simple, just hello world.I have changed project default configuration like this
except for these configurations, others all take defaults
I just want to test my project configuration，that works find for win32 debug and release. But not work for x64 debug and release, they all tell me LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'opencv_world341d.lib'
I indeed know my project does not use any opencv lib, but why they tell me I need to use opencv_world341d.lib
my code
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "hello world" << endl;
}
Thanks for everyone who comments on the question. I have solved the problem, although this problem not relevant to OpenCV to much, but I think the solution to the problem may be helpful to others. When I build project, visual studio 2019 tell me cannot link opencv_world341d.lib, so I go to Project->Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies , and I found opencv_world341d.lib. So I need to remove it, but it's readonly. From this we know visual studio using settings file (Microsoft.cpp..users.props) to control global settings including Global search path. These files are located at $(USERPROFILE)\appdata\local\microsoft\msbuild\v4.0 directory. Then I reedit Microsoft.cpp.<Platform>.users.props, delete opencv_world341d.lib, reboot visual studio, problem solved.
I am trying to run OpenCV on Visual Studios 2017. I built the libraries and bin with CMake, so far it is working good. However, when I try to run the code it says this:
This is the error code message that shows when I launch the "local windows debugger":
For some reason, it says that it can't find the DLL. I already assign the Aditional Dependencies in properties also I linked the "Included Directories" and "Included Libraries" to openCV in Visual Studios, the project is set to run in x64, and there are no errors on the programming it's just that error of DLL that shows.
The DLL can be found in a separate folder made by the compiler in a bin folder. However, it still says it can't be found.
This is the locations of the DLL files:
Is there a solution for this?
I tried to add pictures I'm new in the forum it doesn't let me post them yet. I am not sure if the ones I upload will show.
This is the code I tried to run and bring the error message. The same happen with any other code.
I will add more images that may help to understand what I did so far and thanks in advance for the help.
This are the Visual Studios C/C++ Directories:
This is the Linked section in Visual Studios properties:
This is the environment PATH from Environment Variables:
This is all I did so far in the process to install OpenCV in Visual Studios.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <opencv2/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
int main() {
cv::Mat image;
std::cout << "This image is" << image.rows << "X" << image.cols << std::endl;
image = cv::imread("puppy.bmp");
if (image.empty()) {
}
cv::Mat result;
cv::flip(image, result, 1);
cv::waitKey(0);
return 0;
}
For me, restart to Visual Studio solved the problem, I guess that's because when I added the OpenCV to Environment Variable the Visual Studio was open
Just copy opencv_world341d.dll to the x64 debug folder, and run it.
I also restart my computer after I add it to PATH. So the solution is just restart your computer when you add to PATH for the first time
I've also faced this issue and solved it simply by adding the OpenCV bin path to the environment variable.
I'm using the Boost libraries in MicroSoft Visual Studios 2012 for a C++ program that is going to have Python embedded into it. The problem is when I try to Build Solution [F7]; I get this ::
Error 1 error LNK1104: cannot open file 'python33.lib' C:\Users\usr\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\ConsoleApplication1\ConsoleApplication1\LINK
The problem is, I have no idea what this is, means, or any clue of how to fix it.
I have already tried to move my python folder into my Desktop, as it was originally in the C:\, I thought maybe it was a permissions error, but that didn't do anything.
Here is my code from a tutorial that I was reading in preparation for the porject::
// ConsoleApplication1.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <boost/lambda/lambda.hpp>
#include <boost/python.hpp>
using namespace boost::python;
int main( int argc, char ** argv ) {
try {
Py_Initialize();
object main_module((
handle<>(borrowed(PyImport_AddModule("__main__")))));
object main_namespace = main_module.attr("__dict__");
handle<> ignored(( PyRun_String( "print \"Hello, World\"",
Py_file_input,
main_namespace.ptr(),
main_namespace.ptr() ) ));
} catch( error_already_set ) {
PyErr_Print();
}
}

Thanks for all the help David.
For anyone else who runs into this problem, here's what you need to do.
Right click on the Project name (ConsoleApplication1, ect) and under C/C++ general insure that your additional include directories include youe python include, Lib, and libs folders. As well as the boost root and the boost lib(32/64) folder.
Under the linker menu, in the input sub catagory, for additional dependencies, you'll need to add this into there.
C:\Python33\libs\python33.lib
C:\boost_1_54\lib32-msvc-11.0\boost_python-vc110-mt-gd-1_54.lib
Or whatever your install directory is. As well as any other required files.
Once that's done your project should build.
Once you're ready to run it you'll need to copy whatever .dll files are needed into the folder where the executable is built.
I just compiled zlib and libzip with Cygwin to use them with Code::Blocks in Windows.
My code is that:
#include <iostream>
#include <zip.h>
int main()
{
//Open the ZIP archive
int err = 0;
zip *z = zip_open("main.zip", 0, &err);
zip_close(z);
std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
When I build my code, it works well, no errors and warnings.
When I launch my program, it says that I don't have cygzip-2.dll. Okay, I search it and put it in my executable folder. Then, it says that I don't have cygwin1.dll. Okay, I put it too. The same for cygz.dll and cyggcc_s-1.dll.
Oh, it works! But then, my program stops with always the same status: -1073741819.
It doesn't even tell me hello :(
I compiled it with MinGW (it did the same error on Cygwin), and I linked libz.a, libzip.a and libzip.dll.a. Where does the problem could come from?
Thanks!
EDIT: When I try to compile my program IN Cygwin, it says 'undefined reference to '_zip_open'' and 'undefined reference to '_zip_close''. Probably something is missing, but what?
Eventually, I succeeded to use my 2 libraries! I had already tried to use CMake, but failed miserably.
So today, I decided to retry it with the GUI. Firstly, I compiled zlib. I chose the zlib folder, and put the build folder in it. I configured with the option for Code::Blocks and MinGW Makefiles, and native compilers. Then, I opened the .cbp (Code::Blocks Project) in my 'build' folder, and built it.
For libzip, I did the steps except that I specified 2 variables:
ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR = the root of zlib folder (where there are all the .h and .c) and ZLIB_LIBRARY = [the path to your build folder from zlib]\libzlib.dll
I built it from the .cbp too. And I linked all my files to my project, and it was done!
I installed CodeBlocks 10.5 with minGW compiler. After setting environment variables for minGW I cheked gcc -v on cmd and it is working fine.
The problem is that, I have made a small program in CodeBlocks project the code is below
#include <iostream>
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}
There is an error, the build log is:
Compiling: main.cpp
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\allegro_pract… error: allegro5/allegro.h: No such file or directory
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings
Directory structure for codeblocks is:
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks
and for minGW:
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\mingw
and my project is:
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\bin\
i am confused about allegro library where to place it.. as I have not used any external library..
the library is placed now at:
C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\mingw\allegro\
I am "Googling" for a long time but no tutorial seems to be working..
please give a valid solution.. and where to place allegro library..??
Do not try to "place" libraries in the "right place". Instead, tell the IDE where you put them explicitly. This is called setting the include path.
Code::Blocks should have some setting for include directories. You should point it to the place where Allegro lives.
Set up your IDE to look for Allegro:
(source: allegro.cc)
The complete tutorial is here:
http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Windows,_Code::Blocks_10.05_and_Allegro_5
http://www.mingw.org/wiki/IncludePathHOWTO:
The actual search path, for any specific installation of MinGW may be determined, by running the compiler itself, with the "-v" option; typically, for a GCC-3.4.5 installation in c:/mingw:--
defaults appear to be:
c:/mingw/include/c++/3.4.5
c:/mingw/include/c++/3.4.5/mingw32
c:/mingw/include/c++/3.4.5/backward
c:/mingw/include
c:/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/include
I don't use mingw, so, read the link.
