Add Library to Visual Studio 2008 C++ Project

Tags:

I'm completely new to Visual Studio and I'm having some trouble getting a project started with Visual Studio 2008. I'm experimenting with MAPI, and I'm getting error messages like this when I go to build the project:

"unresolved external symbol _MAPIUninitialize@0 referenced in function _main"

I know I need to link to MAPI32.lib, but the guides I have found thus far have indicated going to the "Visual Studio settings link tab" and adding it there (which was - apparently - from an older version of Visual Studio). I can't find anything like that in the project properties linker or C/C++ sections of VS 2008.

Where do I need to tell Visual Studio to use that library?

Thanks

For adding libraries, this is very simple (if that's what you mean) Project -> properties -> configure properties -> Linker -> Input -> additional libraries. Go stand on one of the libraries in there and press enter.

Go to the Project menu. Go to Build Options... In the options dialog, select the Linker Settings tab. Use the Add button to select a library and add it to your project.

It's under Project Properties / Configuration Properties / Linker / Input / Additional Dependencies.

The help tip at the bottom of the screen says "Specifies additional items add to the line line (ex: kernel32.lib)".
