I recently made a project using opencv and c++ in visual 2008
When i build the project in Debug mode – i don’t face any issues – but when i build it in release mode i get the following errors:
1>test.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _cvHaarDetectObjects
1>test.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _cvCvtColor
1>test.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _cvCreateImage

Check Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies settings in the Release configuration ; you have undoubtedly forgotten to include the OpenCV libraries. Just copy-paste them from the Debug configuration, but don’t forget to remove the
dsuffix.E.g.
cv210.lib: Release mode andcv210d.lib: Debug mode.
