Sorry for the dumbness of this question, but I want to link in ADVAPI32.LIB (and potentially others) and don't want to place an absolute path in the project files. Obviously on the command line one would specify the name, and it would pick up the path from within the LIB search paths. Is there a place within the IDDE for simply specifying a name? (I have tried, but without success)

Thanks

Matthew

I believe you just add the .lib file to the project files.

You can just add the name of the lib, such as ADVAPI32.LIB to the project. (you
do not have to browse to the file).
The IDDE should pickup the sc.ini settings (or scw.ini settings)

Walter, Jan

Thanks a lot. This works a treat.

Just goes to show how one gets conditioned by other tools (and how UIs are only intuitive to those familiar with them), because I didn't realise that the Edit Project dialog allows for the insertion of a file without locating it on the file system.

I should now be able to get the STLSoft projects all working, including DMC prj files, in a short space of time.

Thanks again, for the continuing responsive service. :)
