I'm working on a project using OpenCV and Visual Studio 2010. I'm having problems installing BASS audio libraries on VS 2010. I downloaded these win32 libraries
I added the bass.lib file to the linker input, and I also added the path to the .lib file (which is C:\bass24\c) in Additional Library Directories (in the linker section) and the #include "bass.h" in my .cpp file. This is the same thing you do with OpenCV files or any external files, the only difference is that I don't know what to put in C/C++-> Additional Include Directories (it already has C:\opencv\build\include for OpenCV in it). Does anyone know what to put there?
VS 2010 gives me this problem:
Error 1error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'bass.h': No such file or directory
P.S.: I'm working on a sonification project where I have to track a colored object from my camera and have to play music if that object moves in different positions. I want to use BASS because it is possible to use the multispeaker option (play music on the right speaker if the object moves right and so on).
VS 2010 should know where the necessary library files are (based on your description), but you are forgetting to tell it where the bass.h file is.
In C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories, add the directory C:\bass24\C because that is where the bass.h file is.

I want to use ch.h file from chibios in my project. The embedded project is created and is using HAL drivers for stm32. I want to find a way to add or import chibios library to the current project.
My question is that
how can I add these embedded libraries with lots of dependencies by visualGDB in visual studio?
Do I need to create .lib files of chibios?
What are the differences between C/C++ paths and linker paths?
Adding .a and .h files is enough or do I have to look for other files?
There are 3 ways that I followed and it wasn't successful.
I followed the link to add the paths.
The files that added to projects are libch.a and ch.h. It is called other header files inside ch.h. Then, I added the other header paths to C/C++ "additional include directories" too. After I added the third header file, I got the error "redefinition".
The second way, I wanted to use vcpkg, a library manager. But the chibios library wasn't available in vcpkg.
One another way is to add libraries in standard libraries without adding any paths. But how can I find standard libraries? If the location is in the compiler (gcc-arm-none-eabi), the chibios package was added, but it still wasn't detected in visual studio.
I really appreciate it if you know any tutorials or ways to add chibios in the visual studio
I am trying to compile OBS studio with this tutorial in windows using Visual Studio Community 2015. I have created a project in visual studio and copied the entire git repo into the project by dragging the files into the solution explorer. This project has dependencies on libav, x264, and curl. They are given as .lib, .dll, and header files.
The problem is I keep getting "cannot open source file". I have the the header files in a separate folder from the dll's and lib's (dll and lib are in the same folder). Under the project settings->VC++ Directories I added the include directory, and also added the library directory. Then I added the lib's specifically under Linker->input->additional Dependencies. Then I added the directory that contains the .dll files to the environment variable PATH.
After all this, I still keep getting the same error, as well as a few other errors. Here is a screen shot of one source file that has the issue.
These are my settings.
For the path, I have tried with and without the trailing forward slash.
EDIT:
Use the C/C++ settings instead of VC++ settings for additional include directories.
What is probably holding you up is that those folder icons in the VS sidebar are not actually related to the file system. They are filters and don't change depending on the actual directory.
This is another explanation for Drop's suggestion -- check to see if the files are really where you think they are.
In my case I already added the include libraries but that was not enough. The error went away once I switched the configuration from x86 to x64 in Project Properties.
I am a beginner on C++ and trying to learn about including libraries, and I haven't found documentation about it.
What are the ways of including libraries to a C++ project (Visual Studio). How do I implement them and which is the best way?
I was trying to include the SQLite library to a project. I tried to:
Include the header file in the include folder of the Visual Studio installation folder. It did appear in the External dependencies of my project, so I can do #include <sqlite3.h> without problems, but I don't know where I should put the implementation (a C file) and how to link it (is it in the linker>Input>Additional dependencies?).
Is it necessary that in order to include a library the file should be a .lib? Because I can't find the .lib for SQLite 3, do I have to include it in the lib folder of my Visual Studio installation?
Note: I am interested on the management of including a library in general. The SQLite 3 part is only because I took it as an example in order to learn how to add them.
A library is added in two steps
Adding headers path to the project
Adding .lib reference
In the first step, you must specify in the project where library headers are header. Usually, the path is specified in the project properties -> C++ -> Additional include directories, and them including files with relative paths.
In the second step you must specify in properties->linker the path where libraries (.lib) are located and the name of the library. With this Visual Studio is able to link the project properly.
go to project add existing item you must then select from the browse screen the .lib file you wish to add. and BINGO it is there!

I'm working on adding some openCV features to a couple projects that use the Kinect and openGL/freeGLUT. I have downloaded and installed OpenCV using the pre-built libraries and successfully run a simple sample. Now I want to work with the Kinect Bridge with OpenCV Basics sample from the Kinect for Windows Developer Toolkit to get a better idea of how to use OpenCV with the Kinect. I downloaded the sample into my projects folder, opened the solution in visual studio and built it. I got the following errors:
Error 1 error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'opencv2/core/core.hpp': No such file or
directory c:\users\justin\documents\visual studio
2010\projects\kinectbridgewithopencvbasics-d2d\OpenCVHelper.h 17
and
Error 2 error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'opencv2/core/core.hpp': No such file or
directory c:\users\justin\documents\visual studio
2010\projects\kinectbridgewithopencvbasics-d2d\OpenCVFrameHelper.h 13
Initially I thought these errors were due to forgetting to specify the additional include directories. I added the same property sheet that my other OpenCV projects use to this one, but the errors remained. I tired copying the header files into the project folder: same thing. It seems like the only thing that works is specifying the full absolute file paths in the #include statements. I want to avoid doing this because visual studio wants me to change every #include in every file used in the project, including the openCV header files. I also tried shortening the name of my project folder in case the file path was too long (though I'm pretty sure that's more of an issue for the header file paths), but again no change.
The include directories and #includes that I'm trying to use are the same as in my other projects. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 x64 based system.
Why would the additional include directory work for other projects, but not this one?
Usually when I see something like this it turns out to be a bad character in one of the prior include paths or other options that's messing everything up after it. I would take a look at your the command line page in the project configuration and see if you can spot anything amiss.
I'm using Boost C++ Libraries v1.47 to serialize an class (I used the installer and selected everything and for VS2010).
But I get a error from my Visual Studio 2010 linker "Lnk1104 Can not open libboost_serialization-vc100-mt-gd-1_47.lib". I set up the "c:\program files\boost\boost_1_47" for my includes and "c:\program files\boost\boost_1_47\lib" for my libs. I don't know what's going wrong.
Update
I don't know why but if I put the lib files from the boost directory to "c:\program files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\lib" everything work fine. Boost load the lib files
somehow dynamical.
If you cannot find the file on your computer with the windows searcher just ask anybody else who uses boost to give you a copy of that file (libboost_serialization-vc100-mt-gd-1_47.lib).
My friend from work used to have the same trouble after having installed boost, there was just not the file in the boost folder. At the same time I picked up the file successfully so we copied it to the right directory on his computer.
For some reason precompiled libs in the installer are named on format "boost-module-vc100..." and headers specify library name as "libboost_module-vc100...". So you should specify library name in project settings to make it linked correctly.
I solved this issue by compiling all boost libraries by myself. With modern PC it won't take too long to do.
to resolve this problem,
go to properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories
Enter the path of boost:
Boost-path\stage\lib
