use Tesseract with visual studio 2012

Question

I'm trying to use Tesseract 3.02 and laptonica 1.68 with visual studio 2012. I have added all the includes and the DLL's to the property manager.

  1. Debug Property Pages >> C/C++ >> General >> Additional include directories >> C:\Tesseract-OCR\include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories)
  2. Linker >> General >> Additional Library Directories >> C:\Tesseract-OCR\lib;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)
  3. Linker >> Input >> giflib416-static-mtdll-debug libjpeg8c-static-mtdll-debug liblept168d liblept168-static-mtdll-debug libpng143-static-mtdll-debug libtiff394-static-mtdll-debug zlib125-static-mtdll-debug

And when I build a hello world program it gives the linker error: LNK1104: cannot open file 'giflib416-static-mtdll-debug.obj'

But the library directory is already added to the property manager. Any idea about what I am doing wrong here?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The list of things in the Linker >> Input should be .lib files right? I think you need the .lib extension (and the .lib files need to exist)
