OpenNI2.0 - getting LNK errors trying to build included sample projects in Visual Studio

I'm getting LNK errors trying to build anything from source in Visual Studio 2010.

I've installed OpenNI 2.0, the Kinect SDK, and NiTE. I can run any of the pre-compiled samples, but I can't compile any of them myself.

I tried to make a sample project just copying what SimpleRead had and that won't compile either; I've followed the instructions of adding all the dependencies and stuff for Visual Studio.

Example: 

1>main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__oniDeviceIsCommandSupported

Theres 16 other similar errors.

Solution

  • I had a similar error. What I noticed is that I was using 64bit libraries while trying to build a 32bit application (I just wasn't paying attention). once I pointed my project to the correct Lib files (32-bit) everything built without errors. I hope that helps.
