How to use librealsense on windows?

[dzhou8]

Hello:

I download the librealsense from github. But I can't find the detail installation direction about using librealsense on windows operation system.

And My environment is Win10-64bit, VS2013, and realsense SR300.

When I download the librealsense package, I open realsense.sln in "librealsense-master/librealsense.vc12" using VS2013. Then I build the project.

But it comes two LINK errors:

error LINK1104: can't open the file realsense-sd.lib

error LINK1104: can't open the file realsense-d.lib.

I don't know how to slove it.

Can you give me some suggestions?

Thank you very much.

I remembered I had directed someone else to the Librealsense Windows installation instructions in the past and managed to dig up the link to those instructions. There is not much information in them though - it is more like a note than a guide!

Hi, MartyG

Thank you for your reply.

I seen the Librealsense windows installation, but I can't find some useful information for me.

And I really doubt that my VS2013 version doesn't meet the standard, because when I build"realsense-s"project in ".\librealsense-master\librealsense.vc12"

It comes the following error:

Error 1 error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler. e:\librealsense-master\src\archive.h 36 1 realsense-s

what do you think of it?

Thank you so much.

Here's Microsoft's official advice about that error for Visual Studio 2013.

Thank you very much for the solution about VS2013 error, that provide me with a new direction to solve this problem.

I really appreciate your help.

OK.

The problem is the version of VS2013 is not update 4 or later.

I update VS2013 to update 5.

And it works.

I also appreciate MartyG's help.
