Question

I have just started using opencv2.3 and followed all the steps given in the Answer to my previous topic load library error. Then, I wrote a simple code from a tutorial

#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h>
using namespace cv;
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    Mat img = imread("C:\OpenCV2.3\pic1.jpg");
    if (!img.data) {
      printf( " No image data \n " );
      return -1;
    }
    namedWindow("Example1", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
    imshow("Example1", img);
    waitKey(0);
    return 1;
}

which returns errors as specified in why-is-visual-studio-2010-not-able-to-find-open-pdb-files. After following the answer and checking the Symbol download,the warnings remain! Moreover, I cannot see the image show. I am perplexed as to what else to do and this is all so overwhelming. Kindly let me know what is wrong.

Answer 1

Were you able to compile and run the program or not? It’s not clear.

Anyway, there’s one problem with your code. You need to use double slashes:

Mat img = imread("C:\\OpenCV2.3\\pic1.jpg");!
