I want to use a precompiled library in my project.
I have 3 folders: Include (.h files), Lib (with .lib files) and Bin (with .dll files and .pdb files). I’ve never used precompiled libraries before (I hope this is the right term. correct me if I’m wrong). I want to use this API. How to add all this stuff to my project?

I use visual studio 2010 (cpp). Thanks.

    It’s quite easy. You just need to modify some properties:

    1. C++ / General / Additional Include Directories – add the path where the .h file lives
    2. Linker / General / Additional Library Directoreis – add the path where the .lib file lives
    3. Linker / Input / Additional Dependencies – add the full name of the .lib

    When you run, make sure the path where the .dll lives is part of PATH.
