I installed CUDA 5.0 and Arrayfire 1.9, and when I compile the example files, they work perfectly.
If I try to set up my own project in a different folder, I get a runtime error when I try to use anything related to the af namespace. I get the same error if I literally copy the hello-world example folder to another location and try to compile it from there. This indicates something, but I don't know what because I have little experience with using external libraries.
The error is: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
My debug output is:
CODE: SELECT ALL
'DerdePoging.exe': Loaded 'C:\Users\######\Dropbox\Public\2D_CUDA_UNWRAPPER\Unwrapper_ArrayFire\DerdePoging\Debug\DerdePoging.exe', Symbols loaded.

The program '[5588] DerdePoging.exe: Native' has exited with code -1073741701 (0xc000007b).
I have noticed that my CUDA_LIB_PATH and CUDA_BIN_PATH and CUDA_INC_PATH variables are non-existent (even though I have created fully functional applications that use CUDA), so I created those (pointing to their respective folders in my Cuda installation directory). That didn't solve anything, didn't really expect it to.
Current environment variables:
AF_PATH=C:\Program Files\AccelerEyes\ArrayFire\1.9
CUDA_BIN_PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\bin
CUDA_LIB_PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\lib
CUDA_INC_PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\include
CUDA_PATH=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\
CUDA_PATH_V5_0=C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v5.0\
Those first 3 could use a \, though nothing changed when I added these variables so I don't think it matters.
I think I am missing some crucial step when I create my VS2010 project. StackOverflow tells me it's probably a missing runtime .dll. So what's of key importance here is that the examples work fine, but in different locations, they don't. I think that narrows it down to some include path that is defined relative instead of absolute.
Not sure if it's relevant, but I'll post it here anyway:
using an NVIDIA geForce 540M with 1GB of memory. An Intel i5 2410M dualcore CPU. (Asus k53sv)
Thanks in advance.
Update:
following those exact steps gives the following error:
1>Release\main.obj : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Update:
I'll try and get it to work in VS2010 Professional, which contains an x64 build configuration
Final Update: Okay so if I had to explain this to my past self (so this post has some value to people who have the same error) I would say this: -hardcode the include stuff, because the environment variables act weird -push apply after every single configuration step in VS2010 (or they won't be saved) -get VS2010 Pro so you can choose the x64 platform (this is critical and probably caused the first error, 2012 does NOT work properly)
