link library problem

[olin]

I want to use a specific library in my VC project. I added the directory of the library into Windows environment path. But when I compiled and linked my code, I still got a "cannot open file XXX.lib" link error? What should I do? Thank you so much!

OS: Windows XP
MS VC++ 6.0

Go to Project->Settings->Link tab->Select Category Input

In the "additional library path" provide the path of the lib file

You can try to copy *.lib files what you want to your project folder , it will not appear any more .


Hope this post help you .

Cheers.

PATH environment variable is used for searching of exacutables. For library searching LIB environment variable exists.
