3. Go to properties->configuration Property-> Linker ->General -> Additional Library directories. Change the paths to the approriate paths. Here the last path is the path to Lib directory of SFML.
4. If opencv version is 2.4.8 then skip this step. Else, Go to properties->configuration Property-> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies. Replace 248 with the version of opencv in all the items. Ex. if version is 2.4.9 then write .....249d
