Configuring the MSVC IDE, global options

This section assumes that that the ADM-XRC SDK has been installed in the default location, namely
C:/ADMXRC_SDK2.8.1

The search paths that are applied when building any application in MSVC can be changed. If you decide to use this method of configuring MSVC, bear in mind that the ADM-XRC header files and import libraries will become visible for inclusion to all applications that you subsequently build using the IDE.

  1. Select Tools->Options from the menu within the MSVC IDE.
  2. In the Options dialogue box, select the C/C++ tab, and then select Include files from the Show directories for list. Add this path:
    C:/ADMXRC_SDK2.8.1/include
    
  3. Select Library files from the Show directories for list. Add this path:
    C:/ADMXRC_SDK2.8.1/lib/msvc
    
  4. Click OK to apply the changes.

The new include and library search paths will apply to any project subsequently built with the MSVC++ IDE. Note that you will need to specify the API library to the linker on a per-project basis. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Select Project->Settings from the menu. Ensure that the correct project is highlighted on the left hand side of the Project Settings dialog box.
  2. Select the configuration(s) you want to change - Win32 Debug, Win32 Release or All Configurations - from the Settings for list.
  3. Select the Link tab and add the API library to the list of .lib files in the Object/Library modules field.
  4. Add either admxrc.lib (Release version) or admxrcd.lib (Debug version).
  5. Click OK to apply the changes.
