I installed the MinGW-w64 C/C++ package on C:\.
What are the system environment variables I should add into the Windows OS so that I can code in C/C++ on VS Code e.g. C:\MinGW-w64...\bin, etc?
You shoul add the path of the GCC compiler
mostly it should be like C:\MinGW\Bin
(here C:\ can also be something if you put that at some other place or a different drive, I normally install it directly in C drive and it works well)
Search for Path in Windows Search, you'll find an option of "Edit Environment and Path Variables"
Open it
Go to system variables (so it can be available to all users)
Click on the path, there will be some blank lines, paste your copied path from Windows Explorer, or click the browser option to browse it.
The main thing to add in path in MinGW\Bin which contains all compile binaries)
I hope you get what I went to say.
I am trying just a basic program with OpenCV with the following code:
#include "cv.h"
#include "highgui.h"
int main()
{
IplImage* newImg;
newImg = cvLoadImage("~/apple.bmp", 1);
cvNamedWindow("Window", 1);
cvShowImage("Window", newImg);
cvWaitKey(0);
cvDestroyWindow("Window");
cvReleaseImage(&newImg);
return 0;
}
When I run this, I get
The program can't start because
libcxcore200.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the
program to fix this problem.
However, I can see this DLL. It exists. I have added the following to the input dependencies for my linker
C:\OpenCV2.0\lib\libcv200.dll.a
C:\OpenCV2.0\lib\libcvaux200.dll.a
C:\OpenCV2.0\lib\libcxcore200.dll.a
C:\OpenCV2.0\lib\libhighgui200.dll.a
What gives? I'm using visual studio 2008.
When I link the .dll files instead of .dll.a files, I get
fatal error LNK1107:invalid or corrupt
file: cannot read at 0x3F8
libcv200.dll
I followed instructions on http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/VisualC%2B%2B_VS2010 but was still stuck on exactly the same problem, so here's how I resolved it.
Fetched MSVC 2010 express edition.
Fetched Win 32 OpenCV 2.2 binaries and installed in default location.
Created new project.
Project setup
Project -> OpenCV_Helloworld Properties...Configuration Properties -> VC++ Directories
Include Directories... add: C:\OpenCV2.2\include\;
Library Directories... add: C:\OpenCV2.2\lib;C:\OpenCV2.2\bin;
Source Directories... add:
C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\calib3d\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\contrib\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\core\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\features2d\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\flann\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\gpu\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\gpu\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\highgui\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\imgproc\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\legacy\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\ml\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\objdetect\src;C:\OpenCV2.2\modules\video\src;
Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies...
For Debug Builds... add:
opencv_calib3d220d.lib;opencv_contrib220d.lib;opencv_core220d.lib;opencv_features2d220d.lib;opencv_ffmpeg220d.lib;opencv_flann220d.lib;opencv_gpu220d.lib;opencv_highgui220d.lib;opencv_imgproc220d.lib;opencv_legacy220d.lib;opencv_ml220d.lib;opencv_objdetect220d.lib;opencv_video220d.lib;
At this point I thought I was done, but ran into the problem you described when running the exe in debug mode. The final step is obvious once you see it, select:
Linker -> General ... Set 'Use Library Dependency Inputs' to 'Yes'
Hope this helps.
Just add C:\OpenCV2.0\bin into your PATH environment variable
or
When you install OpenCV,
Choose the option, Add OpenCV to the system PATH for current user which is not default one
Just for your information,after add the "PATH",for my win7 i need to reboot it to get it work.
In Visual Studio 2013 you need to add this to the Environment Variables and then Restart your pc. This is the path where .dll file located in.
I have had numerous problems with opencv and only succeded after a gruesome 4-6 months. This is the last problem I have had, but all of the above didn't work. What worked for me was just copying and pasting the opencv_core2*.dll (and opencv_highgui2*.dll which it will ask for since you included this as well) into the release (or debug folder - I'm assuming. Haven't tested this) folder of your project, where your application file is.
Hope this helps!
You just need to add the folder of the needed dll file (or files) to your system "Environment Variables" in "Path".
Your problem will 100% be resolved. I had this problem too.
just open the bin folder and copy and paste the .dll files to the folder you are working in..it should fix the problem
As to #Marc's answer, I don't think VC uses the path from the OS. Did you add the path to VC's library paths. I usually add the DLLs to the project and copy if newer on the build and that works very well for me.
you can find the opencv_core248 and other dlls in opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin folder. Just copy the dlls you require into system32 folder. And your app should start working in a flash ! Hope it helps.
This might be like resurrecting a dead horse. But just so it's out there, the reason why the answer to these types of questions to simply put dll's into the system32 folder is because that folder is in the os's system path.
It's actually best practice to provide the os with a path link.
With windows 10
open up file explorer
right click on "this pc" and select "properties"
Now in the "Control Panel\System and Security\System" window that comes up, click on "Advanced System Settings" from the left hand panel.
At the bottom of the next window, click on the "Environment Variables" button.
On the next window, there are two panels, the top one is for modifying variables to the current user, and the bottom panel is for modifying variables to the system. On the bottom panel, find the variable "Path" and click it to select it, then click on the "edit" button.
Here you can then create, edit, delete, or update the different paths for the system. For example, to add mingw32-make to the system so you can access that command via command prompt, click new, then paste in the path to the bin. Example path, "D:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_64\bin", no quotation marks nor additional whitespaces.
Click ok on all the windows so that the changes are saved, then reboot your computer for the changes to be loaded.
The ".a" at the end of your DLL files is a problem, and those are there because you didn't use CMAKE to build OpenCV 2.0. Additionally you do not link to the DLL files, you link to the library files, and again, the reason you do not see the correct library files is because you didn't use CMAKE to build OpenCV 2.0. If you want to use OpenCV 2.0 you must build it for it to work correctly in Visual Studio. If you do not want to build it then I would suggest downgrading to OpenCV 1.1pre, it comes pre-built and is much more forgiving in Visual Studio.
Another option (and the one I would recommend) is to abandon OpenCV and go with EmguCV. I have been playing with OpenCV for about a year and things got much easier when I switched to EmguCV because EmguCV works with .NET, so you can use a language like C# that does not come with all the C++ baggage of pointers, header files, and memory allocation problem.
And as for the question of 64bit vs. 32bit, OpenCV does not officially support 64bit. To be on the safe side open your project properties and change the "Platform Target" under the "Build" tab from "Any CPU" to "X86". This should be done any time you do anything with OpenCV, even if you are using a wrapper like EmguCV.
Copy all .dll from /bin in System32
Just copy the .dll files to C:\windows\system32\
No need to do any of that. It is a visual studio error.
just go here:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=31354
and download the appropriate fix for your computer's OS
close visual studio, run the fix and then restart VS
The code should run without any error.
I have just installed Qt_SDK_Win_offline_v1_1_4_en.exe and run QT Creator.
I am working on Win7 64 bit.
I wanted to make simply app with form and button on it to test Qt. I choose New->Project QT Widget->Aplikacja Gui QT ---> then Desktop application.
When I run Play Button - that should build and run the application I get a message: that I should check path and privileges. I can't also run the exe files as administrator manually because windows give me message that I don't have privileges. I gave full privileges in file Properties but then after run I am getting error that I don't have mingwm10.dll.
I gave full privileges in file Properties but then after run I am getting error that I don't have mingwm10.dll.
This means the library required can't be found in any of the locations Windows searches to find libraries. The usual method to get around this is by making sure the folder containing the copy of mingwm10.dll which the Qt SDK installs is in your PATH environment variable. Here is one of the many Google-able guides to settings those variables.
Ok, I found a partial solution, I could finally run the exe file.
First, something must have changed in my Windows7 because every new created folder (and files in it)had restrictions and noone could make all operations.
So, after changing properties of folder, I got message about missing dlls files, so I started to copy them from QT folder. There are at least a few different versions of each dll, and only one is correct, so I copy those form mingw folder bacause I used mingw compiler, and finally after copying 4-5 dll I run the exe file.
But this is not what I am expecting from app that install pack has almost 2GB...
thanks

I recently installed MinGW on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer and when I attempt to compile the most basic of c++ programs, for example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
return 0;
}
I get the error that "The program can't start because libgmp-10.dll is missing from your computer."
Have you tried adding C:\MinGW\bin as a System variable Path (not PATH) in Settings->System Properties->Environment Variables?
I saw this solution on this page: Missing libgmp-10.dll
Go to the mingw download page and browse the following directories:
MinGW / Base / gmp / gmp-5.0.1-1
Currently you end up with the following link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gmp/gmp-5.0.1-1/libgmp-5.0.1-1-mingw32-dll-10.tar.lzma/download
and it contains the needed file.
I know there are automated methods for installing mingw gcc, but when one uses single mingw packages, then gmp is one of obligatory downloads.
added
c:/MinGW/bin to PATH
and restarted CMake-gui
worked for me
I came upon this question when I started CodeBlocks and then clicked on my project. After the project notes appeared and I pressed OK, the error appeared:
"System Error: The program can't start because libgmp-10.dll is missing from your computer.
Please reinstall the application to fix this problem."
I presse OK a bunch of times and then was able to do normal compile, link, etc. but that error showed up everytime I started C::B and went to the project. Then I noticed that the LLVM Clang compiler was my default compiler in the compiler settings, though GCC was set as the compiler specific to the project I was working on.
The solution was to set the compiler in the compiler settings to GCC (mingw) and also set it as the default compiler. After that this system error stopped popping up every time I started the project.
The reason I posted this answer is because it answers the OP's question and other people with the same question may have a similar reason for this irritation, and my personal experience in this matter may prove useful to those people.
If you did not find this file in your installation directory, and then went to the site [Click here] to download the file, and then extract it to your installation directory.enjoy:-)
Caution - removing stuff from your path can compromise your system!
Interestingly, you not only need to add the MinGW bin to your Path, but also you need to make sure that certain things are not on your path*. In my case, I saved my entire path variable as a backup, deleted everything non-system from my path except for MinGW and CMake, leaving:
C:\MinGW\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake\bin
You should use the appropriate elements from your system path.
I first tried to do this with a batch job that launched CMake, but it seems that the CMake GUI was reaching back and grabbing the System 'Path' variable instead of the command prompt 'Path' variable, which I had printed and confirmed was as listed above before launching CMake.
Incidentally, I backed up the entire Windows VM before starting!
* For instance: various references, including known issues, mention sh.exe. I inherited this VM from my client and hacked it up further, so it's easier for me to use a clean path for my cross-compiling task and return afterward...
In just installed MinGW using the mingw-get-setup.exe v0.6.2beta-20131004-1 installer. Even though during the install I selected the gcc package, the installer didn't include the "mingw32-gmp" package, which includes libgmp-10.dll. I had to rerun the installer, chose the "Reinstall" option, and manually select the "mingw32-gmp dev" package.
If you don't have the permission modifying your global path, you can also change the active directory of your cmd shell.
How to do it (in the cmd shell):
C:\> cd C:\MINGW\bin
C:\MINGW\bin> gpp.exe C:\Users\James\Desktop\Program.cpp
How it doesn't work:
C:\>C:\MINGW\bin\gpp.exe C:\Users\James\Desktop\Program.cpp
Note: you have to change "C:\Users\James\Desktop\Programm.cpp" to wherever your program lays
How it works: windows looks for needed DLLs while in the same directory and if it can't find it there it'll look in the PATH variables (so it will search system32 by default), if you add any missing DLLs to the directory from where you run it, windows looks and uses them (even before it looks in the PATH).
A very simple fix to this problem of having missing driver file/s is to select and copy all the dll files from C:\MinGW\Bin and paste them into your C:\MyPrograms or whereever else your folder for created c++ (.cpp) files are being located.
Just search google for the dll file and download it. Then paste it into the folder in this path
C:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\9.2.0
