I'm making my first rogue-like using this http://www.kathekonta.com/rlguide/article1.html tutorial and I am having trouble with compiling it.

I'm using Visual studio 2010 and whenever I try to compile the program it comes up with something like "Could not open Console.lib and I'm not sure what I am doing incorrectly. Does the .lib file go into the resources folder in a project? when is says "Static library for the Console interface:" does that mean when I make the project I should make it a static library instead of a win32 console application?

How are you linking the library?

to include the library in the project you need to add the folder the lib file is in to Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->VC++ Directories->Library Directories

then you need to add the library's file name to Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies
