Importing non-standard library

Ok, i have this assignment that requires an additional library for graphics.  The standard compiler used in the course is visual studio 2008, but i was unable to install that successfully so i'm using code::blocks.

Unfortunately, the instructions for certain steps are given for people using visual studio 2008.  i have no idea how to describe what i'm supposed to do, so i'm just going to post a link to the instructions we're given in the hope someone here can understand what i should do.

thanks in advance for any help.

tell me if that link won't work, it is possible my school won't allow it.  if so, i'll just give it to you in a different way.

thanks again

This site DOES not support learning how to program.

Edit: The following is normal info needed to answer questions; but, I see no way to help you since you do NOT know how to program. I do NOT have time to be a teacher. Ask your teacher to help you install the proper compiler.

What Compiler are you using?
(Include version number of Compiler.)
What operating system?

fist off, i'm not asking how to program.  the link i gave you is only the instructions for what to do with the new library.  i'm asking how would i convert those steps into something that works with code::blocks.  that is what this section is for, after all.  helping new users to use and configure code::blocks.  I'm sorry if i wasn't clear in my request.  Basically, i know code::blocks has a way to do this, but i do not know how to.  if i had a translation of those instructions for code::blocks, i could do the program no problem.

i will admit that i did not include those pieces of info you listed at the end. 

i'm using GNU GCC compiler, i guess version 5.6.1 (that's the version of MinGW i downloaded and installed) as per the instructions given on the code::blocks main page.  I'm running windows Vista 64bit.

thank you

so i gather this question is related to MinGW's GCC compiler instead of code::blocks?

should i ask on MinGW's site?
