title: Linking... LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libgsl.a'
body: <p>I am using SIFT algorithm code by <a href="http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~hess/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Rob Hess</a> which uses OpenCV library, in Windows. And I am having visual studio 2008 as the IDE. When I run the program for image matching having Debug as the Solution Configuration in VS There is no problem, everything works fine. But when i change the Solution Configuration to Release it gives a linking error.</p>
  
  <p>The error is:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Linking... LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'libgsl.a'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Can someone explain me the reason and tell me how to resolve this.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
