You should:
- Add the
.libfiles as linker input (additional dependecies). - Make
Visual Studioaware of the folder(s) wherein such library files are (add the folders in theVC++directories list). - Include the appropriate headers in your source files.

in grosso modo: Once per library: 1) Install the library. Unzip it to a directory or install it via a package manager. 2) Tell the compiler where to look for the header file(s) for the library. 3) Tell the linker where to look for the library file(s) for the library. Once per project: 5) Tell the linker which static or import library files to link. 6) #include the library's header file(s) in your program. 7) Make sure the program know where to find any dynamic libraries being used.

[My articles]tsk tsk, you don't know what "files not working" mean? It means, of course, they are playing cards or drinking cooffe insteads of answering the calls of the process and doing their job. Imagine it... they are so lazy that don't even give any error message.

:doh: Mmmm... so? I gave you an answer to your question and then I made a joke with the start point of one CPallini's comment (please pay attention to the "tree design" to see which message hangs on which other message and on the icons of "message type"). I never said anything about you. :rolleyes: :cool:
