I am having problems with the flycapture SDK (FlyCapture v2.6 Rel 2) on Visual Studio. This is used for BlackFly camera.
I am getting the following errors:

and to my understanding the problem lies in the directories (include and library).
I have downloaded the FlyCapture SDK v2.6 Release 2 for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit.
In my project I have added the following properties:
Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Additional Library Directories : C:\Program Files\Point Grey Research\FlyCapture2\lib64\FlyCapture2_v100.lib
Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Additional Include Directories : C:\Program Files\Point Grey Research\FlyCapture2\include
I have tried to do this with the 32-bit and 64-bit SDK and with different lib's. But I don't know where I have done something wrong. All help is appreciated!!!
I have been working on finding the problem, and now I have. The FlyCapture2 SDK is not supported by VS2012 by default. I had to make some changes.
First I added the properties (as written above), but using the 32-bit SDK.
Then I entered the folder where SDK was installed. Here I went to src\vsprops\VS10 and made a copy of the FlyCapture2.props file.
Then I renamed the copy, for example "FlyCapture2Changed.props"
Open the "FlyCapture2Changed.props" (notepad, text editor, etc) and found the line:
NB! there should not be space between < and AdditionalDependencies (same for < / ), had some trouble with the editor here (text went missing).
< AdditionalDependencies>FlyCapture2_$(PlatformToolset).lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)< /AdditionalDependencies>
and changed it to:
< AdditionalDependencies>FlyCapture2_v100.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)< /AdditionalDependencies>
After this was done I had to do some changes to the project. Under your project you should go to property manager and rightclick on Debug | Win32 and select "Add Existing Property Sheet" and select the "FlyCapture2Changed.props" I have made.
After this was done it worked!
