使用 Qt 的程序，从 VS 启动时 OpenCV 运行良好，但在使用 OpenCV 功能时运行可执行文件通常会崩溃

Question

I'm trying to deploy my C++ program. Every functionality of it works if I run the program from the VS IDE (release mode). When I ordinarily run the same executable, the main window comes up fine and its non-OpenCV functionality works; but when I try to open a picture and have the program use OpenCV stuff (opening it invokes the use of several OpenCV manipulations on the picture), it crashes.

I ran windeployqt from the Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 successfully. It didn't copy the OpenCV dlls next to my executable, though, so I copied opencv_world400.dll and opencv_ffmpeg400_64.dll next to the other dlls. I assume this is the step where I'm missing something. The folder looks like this now:

I'm using VS2017 with Qt5.10.1 and OpenCV4.0. I don't think I can insert relevant code as the project is quite big and it uses OpenCV functionality extensively.

Answer 1

I figured it out, the problem was unrelated to OpenCV ( opencv_world400.dll was sufficient to copy into the folder).

The problem was: I used Qt's applicationDirPath() , which returns the executable's path, to access a Results folder I was supposed to have previously created there, but did not. The program, if ran from VS, was accessing the existing Results folder in the Debug folder, even though I was running the program in release mode and applicationDirPath() was returning the executable's path in the Release folder. When I was running the same executable ordinarily, it couldn't find the Results folder and crashed.
