Libraries

Linking Libraries in Visual Studio .

• At no point does he explain how to create a library, only how to use one.

• In the second half of the video, he explains the process.

• He downloads a folder with binaries and uses only:

  • GLFW\include

    • For the header files.

  • GLFW\lib-vc2015

    • For the static library and/or dynamic library.

    • He uses only the static library.

• For the header files:

  • Project Settings -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories .

    • $(SolutionDir)Dependencies\GLFW\include

• For the libraries:

  • Project Settings -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories .

    • $(SolutionDir)Dependencies\GLFW\lib-vc2015

  • Project Settings -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies .

    • glfw3.lib

From what I understand, the Linker options in Project Settings do not appear when creating a static library .lib .
