The problem was due to mixing up debugging and release builds. If building in debug mode, the debug libs are needed. On unix this dont seem to be a problem.

imread(filename) doesn't load any data if you use release libraries in debug mode. This is weird, I think it should'n happen but actually it does. Check this question asking about the reason why this is happening.
