Title: how to add dll to project?
Post by: wever on January 21, 2015, 06:51:53 pm

Hi, I just downloaded SDL.dll which is needed in source which I downloaded from internet:
#include <SDL/SDL.h>

I donwloaded both the SDL.dll and the sources (many files and directories). But I cannot find out how to add these directories or the dll to project. I added the dll through Build options / Linker settings (not sure if it is the right place) but how to add the headers? I can add files to project when I open it and then add it to project. That's th only way I know

I would use an CB Global Variable of sdk.
