Building a New C++ Project in Microsoft Visual Studio

This document is for compiling projects using C++. If you wish to use C, see Building a Microsoft Visual Studio C Project for Your c-tree Application.

The steps to create a new c-tree C++ project in Visual Studio are as follows:

1. Create a new “console application” project.
2. Copy some test code into the .cpp file.
3. Add three FairCom-provided library (.lib) files to the project.
4. Add dependencies for ws2_32.lib and crypt32.lib to the project.
5. Tell the project where it can find the c-tree header (.hpp) files.
6. Test your new project.

Explicit details of these steps are contained in the following sections.
