Setting up dependencies on Visual C++ 2008 Express

Question

How do I set up Visual C++ 2008 Express to point to the required libraries and include directories of a 3rd party C library?

Answer 1

Right-click the project, go to Properties.

Point to the header files with Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories

Point to the library with Configuration Properties > Linker > General > Additional Library Directories. Then tell the linker which libraries you want on the Linker > Input tab, under Additional Dependencies.
