使用Visual Studio 2015将SDK链接到项目中

Question

so super newbie question, as I've not much experience using outside SDKs -

I'm trying to include the NVidia FleX SDK into my project, and I'm getting linker errors when calling any of the library's functions.

In my Project Settings, I have in my Include Directories a path pointing to the header file that I need. Under Library Directories, I have a path pointing to the library that it uses.

There's also a bin folder I'm not too sure what to do with - it holds the dll that the library uses. I've used the FBX SDK before, which didn't have a bin folder or DLL that needed to be linked.

If I use

#pragma comment( lib, "flexDebug_x86" )

The linker doesn't complain, but running it produces an error saying that it can't find the DLL. I've tried putting the path to the DLL under Library Directories - not sure where that should actually go.

Thank you!

You have to copy the DLLs to your VS Project Path. Or you put the path to the DLL into Computer Environment Path.
