Guys,
How do I add:
pl\bin
to my VS2008 PATH?
I read in a forum post: . . . ensure pl\bin is in %PATH%
But I can't seem to find such an option in my VS2008 Project Properties, etc...
Thanks,
A:
%PATH% refers to the Windows system path. Go to Control Panel / System / Advanced System Settings / Environment Variables, where you can see the various variables,one of them being PATH.
If you are using a C++ project, there is also a possibility to change the list of directories searched during a build in Tools / Options / Projects and solution / VC++ directories

Thank you. I went to VS2008 Tools / Options / Projects and solution / VC++ directories. There is a bunch of paths, each beginning with $. So should I add $(pl\bin) or should it be $(C:\Program Files\pl\bin)

$(xxx) is meant to be used if there is an environment variable named xxx; if you have a known path, simply add it (without any $()).The $() notation is useful for VS itself, as it needs entries pointing to its install dir (which can be changed during installation), .NET framework dir, c:\program files (which changes depending on the OS language), etc.
