title: Include darknet Yolov3 for object detection
body: <p>Unfortunately I am not very experienced with C++ and the handling of Visual Studio. I have to implement a C++ application, in which I can integrate yolo or darknet as a library and use it flexibly. I'm using Windows and Visual Studio 2015.</p>
  
  <p>I have looked at the <a href="https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet" rel="nofollow noreferrer">following repo</a>. 
  What I have tried so far:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>I have installed CUDA (although I want to run the model on the CPU for testing purposes), Cudnn and Opencv</li>
  <li>I opened the vs solution from <code>build\darknet\darknet_no_gpu.sln</code> from the AlexeyAb repo with Visual Studio. Inside the repo there are a lot of header and C-files :</li>
  </ul>

  <ul>
  <li><p>I also added my <code>opencv\build\include</code> path to the <em>Additional Include Directories</em>, the <code>opencv\x64\vc14\lib</code> to the <em>Additonal Library Directories</em> and the <code>opencv_world320.dll</code>file to the linker <code>Input</code> field.</p></li>
  <li><p>I also set <strong>x64</strong> and <strong>Release</strong></p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Now, I don't know how to proceed. Just creating a <code>source.cpp</code> and do a <code>#include "darknet.h"</code> seems not to work. I get a lot of errors like: <code>darknet_no_gpu.exe' (Win32): Loaded 'C:\Windows\System32\kernel32.dll'. Cannot find or open the PDB file.</code>.  In the repo it is mentioned at several places that you have to build the solution but what exactly does this mean or what exactly do I get afterwards and do with it?</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how I could solve my problem? I'm really glad for any advice!</p>
