Visual Studio build latest OpenCV package in Debug & Release version. I want to use AddingImage.cpp to test it and build it succesfully with static libraries but on runtime I get an error

```auto
---------------------------
ConsoleApplication1.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The code execution cannot proceed because opencv_core470d.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. 
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

```

if it depends on that dll, you did not link it against _static_ , but dynamic libs  
(if that’s ok, at least make sure, the folder containing the opencv dll’s is on the PATH, so they can be found at runtime)

use `BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF` cmake option to build static opencv libs

Are you adding `C:\Users\Raivo\opencv-4.7.0\build\bin\Debug\opencv_calib3d470d.dll` to

> Properties-\>Linker-\>Input-\>Additional Dependencies?

instead of `C:\Users\Raivo\opencv-4.7.0\build\lib\Debug\opencv_calib3d470d.dll`?

If so that’s your problem, you need to add the .lib to the linker for compilation and the .dll to your system/user path for runtime.
