cxcore210d.lib
highgui210d.lib
6. You can test it using some code like:
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <cv.h>
#include <cxcore.h>
#include <highgui.h>
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
IplImage *img = cvLoadImage("image.jpg");
cvNamedWindow("Image:",1);
cvShowImage("image:",img);
cvWaitKey();
cvDestroyWindow("Image:");
cvReleaseImage(&img);
return 0;
