first time posting a question here to stackoverflow. Sorry if I butcher the formatting!
I am attempting to follow a basic tutorial on openCV, namely this one:
http://aishack.in/tutorials/tracking-colored-objects-in-opencv/
I have looked at various tutorial online on how to install openCV, including:
Setup OpenCV-2.3 for Visual Studio 2010
and
opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/VisualC%2B%2B
without much luck.
The current version I have running right now is OpenCV 2.3.0.
I am currently running on Windows 7 with Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010.
Whenever I try to build and run my code, I get the following errors:
1>------ Build started: Project: Camera, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

I have installed Open CV to
C:\OpenCV2.3
I have added additional dependencies, additional directories, ect.
For the preferences for my project, they are as follows:
Additional Dependencies:
enter code here
opencv_core230.lib
opencv_highgui230.lib
opencv_legacy230.lib
opencv_video230.lib
opencv_ml230.lib
opencv_core230d.lib
opencv_highgui230d.lib
opencv_legacy230d.lib
opencv_video230d.lib
opencv_ml230d.lib
opencv_calib3d230d.lib
Aditional Library Directories:
C:\OpenCV2.3\build\x64\vc10\lib;C:\OpenCV2.3\build\x64\vc10\bin;C:\OpenCV2.3\build\x64\vc10\staticlib;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)
Additional Include Directories:
C:\OpenCV2.3\build\include\opencv;C:\OpenCV2.3\build\include\opencv2;C:\OpenCV2.3\build\include
I also included a path to the DLL’s on my path variable for windows:
;C:\OpenCV2.3\build\x64\vc10\bin;C:\OpenCV2.3\build\bin;
I’ve looked at other forums, other stack overflow questions, ect without much help.
I have been trying to get this to work for the better part of a weekend. Any help would be much appreciated!
If you DID explicitly set up linking with all the necessary libraries, but linking errors still show, you might be mixing up 64/32 bit libraries and application.
I.e. make sure that all library includes point to 32 bit version of libraries if you are building 32 bit application.
