I am running a very simple test program and I have been running into problems mostly with setting up the OpenCV library with Visual Studio. I am not sure why visual studio can't run this file.

Here is the code (very simple)

#include <opencv\cv.h>
#include <opencv\highgui.h>

int main(){
IplImage* img = cvLoadImage("C:/MyOpenCV/Images/MyPic.png");
cvNamedWindow("MyOpenCV");
cvShowImage("MyOpenCV", img);
cvWaitKey(0);
cvDestroyWindow("MyOpenCV");
cvReleaseImage(&img);
return 0;

This is the error I get:

C:\Users\Matthew\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\7.8.15\x64\Release\7.8.15.exe : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found

========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Thank you in advance!

*side note*: your project is called "7.8.15" ? oh... – Raptor Jul 17 '15 at 02:31

Have you added the OpenCV libraries to the additional dependencies of the configuration? – brettwhiteman Jul 17 '15 at 02:31
You need to provide more details. The error message is incomplete. – Phil Jul 17 '15 at 03:47
1>------ Build started: Project: 7.8.15, Configuration: Release x64 ------ 1> Upload Video.cpp This is what I got right above the error message if that's what you mean @Phil – Matthew Purri Jul 17 '15 at 17:17
@Brett I added the OpenCV directories to this project. – Matthew Purri Jul 17 '15 at 18:56
@MatthewPurri Yes but did you add the libraries? http://stackoverflow.com/a/20059167/2593738 – brettwhiteman Jul 18 '15 at 19:23
