Problem with OpenCV dlls after deploying to another computer

scytherlein

Hi,

I developed a little application to process video files with Qt using OpenCV.
Everything is working well on my own computer even if I deployed the application.

If I try to start the application on another Computer the application is starting and running until OpenCV components are used.

I found out that OpenCV libraries are missing "for the application" altough windows recognices them and they are located in the deployment folder.

Is there any way to include those files kind of relative in the .pro file ?

This is my .pro File with the libraries I need out of OpenCV

Hi,

Did you check that you have all dependencies installed along your application including OpenCV ? You can use Dependency Walker for that.

On an unrelated note:
@scytherlein said in Problem with OpenCV dlls after deploying to another computer:

LIBS += C:\opencv\release\bin\libopencv_core342.dll
LIBS += C:\opencv\release\bin\libopencv_imgcodecs342.dll
LIBS += C:\opencv\release\bin\libopencv_imgproc342.dll
LIBS += C:\opencv\release\bin\libopencv_videoio342.dll

This is wrong, you don't link against .dll files but the corresponding .lib files.

Thank you for your quick response

I've already checked for dependencies with Dependency Walker, everything is fine concerning on them.

In my built OpenCV Package there are only those .dll files but not the .lib files.

Im only able to find those files with the ending ".dll.a"

I've solved the Problem !

Although Dependency Checker marked only 3 OpenCV .dll's the programm is using more of them.
They are connected internally, so it is impossible to find out which one you should use.

I simply figured out the right one by try and error.

Thank you

Did you use Dependency Walker on the OpenCV dlls ?
