Which way do YOU include DirectX .lib files?

AlienCharm · 2004-01-17T17:37:34

Whenever including ddraw.lib to my projects I''ve always went to Project->Add to Project->Files and then found the file. The other day I found out you can at it to your linker files by going Project->Settings->Then under the Link tab where it says "Object/Library modules you can type in ddraw.lib. Note that this is using Visual Studio 6.0 and goes for all DirectX .lib files not just ddraw.lib. The only difference I could figure out was if you add it to your linker you have to re-add it everytime you open up your project. I was wondering which way everyone here does it and if there is a difference between the two??

I do the same as Spudder, Newfound, RhoneRanger, Ghwerig, Dave Hunt, googlyeyes and AlienCharm.

Typing is easier and faster then clicking (for me).

I personally prefer #pragma comment(lib, "ddraw.lib") jus because I'm too lazy to keep entering the project settings to change the link options

Me too.
