Does anyone know how to set all the libraries and stuff in Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2005? I don't think 6.0 is the same as Express...

for project based includes

project->properties->C++->General->Additional Include Directories

project->properties->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories

for global

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

then there is a combobox to the right which has include and library

there ya are dude.

Cool, it works now but it gives me a warning:

------ Rebuild All started: Project: 06.2DGraphics_vc8, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Deleting intermediate and output files for project '06.2DGraphics_vc8', configuration 'Debug|Win32'

Is that a optional thing or is it serious?

That warning isn't a big deal. It is just telling you that the compile and link options are not consistent. If you leave things as-is, you won't be able to use the edit-and-continue debugging feature with whatever library or executable that you are building. This feature can be quite useful.

If you want to use edit-and-continue debugging, you should change the project linker option Enable Incremental Linking [Project | Properties | Linker | General] to Yes. If you don't want to use edit-and-continue, you can set the Debug Information Format option [Project | Properties | C/C++ | General] to any of the other options.

Thanks, now it compiles properly. Now how do you do that globally?

I don't believe that there is a global setting for those. They are per-project. I dunno what the defaults are, but I would not expect them to be in conflict.
