How to associate headers with libraries
Storkman:
Good evening...
I"m trying to compile some PSDK samples; and I had the hardest time figuring out which libraries I need to link to. Going through the platform SDK docs could take a while. Is there a list somewhere that associates the header file with the library that needs to be linked to? I'm using the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, but I suppose the question would arise for any compiler.
Thanks.

Hello,
May be the Code::Blocks SDK Reference Manual for 1.0 RC2 WIP (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=1358.0) could be of some help.

Are you talking about MS Platform SDK or C::B SDK?
What do you want to compile?

I think they all match up. mmsystem.h into mmsystem.lib and etc... If not, it's very easy to see just by browsing and seeing the matching names, like ~cmctrl.h ~cmctrlxx.lib for the common controls.

Good afternoon...
Not exactly. I mean some do, 1:1. Others are pretty close, like commctrl.h to comctl32.lib. But when headers are nested, i.e.: including windows.h includes winuser.h wihich is assoicated with user32.lib. It's especially the last case that is troublesome.
