DevIL (LIB Files?)

Aardwolf:
I don't understand this, and the Wiki / FAQ didn't really help as its instructions are for an outdated version (I think):

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_I_would_like_to_compile_a_project_using_some_non-standard_libraries._How_can_I_indicate_to_CodeBlocks_that_these_libraries_and_include_files_exist.3F

What is the correct procedure for linking with non-standard libraries, particularly DevIL?

(I am trying to do OpenGL and need DevIL to help)

These directions look correct to me; why do you think they won't work?
I only thing I am not sure about is what "project settings" you should pay attention to.

Alright, then. Maybe I misread it, but I still don't get it.

What are the required paths for compiler and linker? Do I put my .lib files in /lib and add that? Do I put my .h files in /include and add that?

(I haven't used C++ in ages, so I'm effectively learning it for a first time... again)

As for what the 'version' thing was, I guess I was just thrown off by the fact that there is an extra linker tab that appears when you are inside the directories tab, and this linker tab only let me add directories.

Edit:

It is giving ".objs\texturemanager.obj:texturemanager.cpp:(.text+0x30e): undefined reference to `_imp__ilutGLLoadImage@4'" type errors, although there are more than one of them, and the thing after imp__ varies.

To expand on the directions

under directories tab
  under compiler tab
     put the path to the include file

under directories tab
  under linker tab
     put the path to the library file

under linker tab
  under Link Libraries
     put the libraries names (add them one library at a time; one library per line)


The undefined reference to `_imp__ilutGLLoadImage@4 means you are most likely missing a library. That library contains a method related to _imp__ilutGLLoadImage@4 (this is the c++ mangled name for the method.)

I don't know for sure, but I think the problem is in the last bit (the errors). Maybe.

(n00b question) Where do DLLs go?
