I am trying to run a simple OpenCV program in QT Creator 2.3, QT 4.7.4. I know the syntax is correct, but my program does not get run. When I run it, I simply get the qtcreator_process_stub.exe window with "Press <RETURN> to close this window...".

Why is this? My .pro file looks as such:

Qt Code: 
  1. QT       += core
  2. QT       -= gui
  3.  
  4. TARGET = myQtConsoleProject
  5. CONFIG   += console
  6. CONFIG   -= app_bundle
  7.  
  8. TEMPLATE = app
  9. SOURCES += main.cpp
  10.  
  11. INCLUDEPATH += C:\\opencv\\release\\include
  12.  
  13. LIBS += -LC:\\opencv\\release\\lib \
  14. -lopencv_core231.dll \
  15. -lopencv_highgui231.dll \
  16. -lopencv_imgproc231.dll \
  17. -lopencv_features2d231.dll \
  18. -lopencv_calib3d231.dll

The contents of my source code is as follows:
Qt Code: 
  1. #include <stdio.h>
  2. #include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
  3. #include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
  4. int main() {
  5.         printf("not outputting...\n");
  6.         cv::Mat image= cv::imread("C:/temp/img.jpg");
  7.         cv::namedWindow("My Image");
  8.         cv::imshow("My Image", image);
  9.         cv::waitKey(50000);
  10.         return 1;
  11. }
