About the blog

In this blog I will keep track of projects I develop though out this year and may be in the future. For now it is juts a testing ground for developing the blog itself but I hope as I put more material it will become a good place for me to hold information.

Adding folder to Dll in Visual studio Win32 apps

C/C++ Programming, Visual Studio Posted by guiviPosted on 08 Jan, 2021 22:19:01
  1. Go to project properties (Alt+F7)
  2. Under Debugging, look to the right
  3. There’s an Environment field.
  4. Add your relative path there (relative to vcproj folder) i.e. ..\some-framework\lib by appending PATH=%PATH%;$(ProjectDir)\some-framework\lib or prepending to the path PATH=C:\some-framework\lib;%PATH%
  5. Hit F5 (debug) again and it should work.

# and prints to shell the most recent date.
