Compiling and executing a c++ project in VS

[supertreta]

Hi guys,

I am really getting crazy to execute a c++ project in visual studio.This project was downloaded as open source and didn't bring some necessary libraries. I looked for them (*.lib), joined to the project and now I can compile it well (at least, is what it seems). The problem is when I execute the project: the console starts but a pop-up appears telling me that a dll is missing. I have joined the correspondent lib and I can say I am sure of that because it is declared on the "additional dependencies" project linker property. The project wouldn't compile if the lib wasn't correctly referenced.

Thanks for your help,
Michael Treta

no one to help?! This seems me a simple issue for someone with some experience in compiling and executing c++ projects in vs... or I am wrong and this isn't a beginner question?

Well, you need to make sure the dll files that came with the library are in a place where your program can find them, i.e. in the executable's directory or in system32/64.
