I m using OpenCV 3.0 with VS2012 on a Win8.1 64 bit machine.
I am trying to transition form OpenCV 2.4.9 to OpenCV 3.0 and am having a problem finally linking the whole thing. My project worked fine in 2.4.9 and I think I fixed most everything that was different in 3.0. However, I now get a linking error on imread.
When compiling/linking, I get this:
1>------ Build started: Project: SVUSBCOMUtility, Configuration: Debug x64 ------

I assume this means that imread is not linked in correctly but am having trouble seeing where it might have moved to.
I hope my dumb questions might help others with the same issues.
Any help appreciated.
