C++: How to add a library in Netbeans (DarkGDK + DirectX SDK)

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to learn how to make games with DarkGDK. But I have to write in Visual Studio. I don't like Visual Studio. Its suggestions (Ctrl-Space for Completion) are bad (is my opinion) and the compiler is broken (See my previous questions).

So I want to migrate to Netbeans, whit MSys and MinGW. But I'm not able to use the DarkGDK library in Netbeans. I added two include folders:

• C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include
• C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Include

After adding this include directories, I can #include <DarkGDK.h>.
But he shows a warning: "There are unresolved includes inside <DarkGDK.h>"

And when I try to compile: main.cpp:9:21: warning: DarkGDK.h: No such file or directory

In Visual Studio are Include files and Library files. And in Netbeans, there is only Include Directories when I go to Tools -> Options -> C/C++ -> Code Assistance.

So, my question is: "How can I add the Library files in Netbeans"?
Or does any-one did this yet and knows how to do this.

Personally I found the include directories in Tools -> Options don't work. You need to right click on your project and go to properties -> C++ Compiler and add your include directories. Then from properties -> Linker to add your library directories and libraries.
