Custom library paths for each project

[Dave Rudolf]

Hey all,

Suppose I have a 3rd-party lib that I wish to use. In order to get MSVC
to see that lib file, I have in the past resorted to putting that file
into "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib" or something
like that. However, I want the project to work on multiple machines
without having to hack the SDK folder for each one. So, I was hoping to
put the libs somewhere within my source tree and then tell the project
where to find them. I can't seem to figure out how to do that. The
closest I could find was to put them into the following settings:

Options -> Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories

However, doing so affects *all* projects, and I have to change that on
each machine. So, is there a way to achieve the same thing with a
project-specific setting?

Thanks

Dave

Dave,

In your project's Link settings there's an additional path you can use
(/LIBPATH).
