Setting VC++ up to use Casablanca

~ Nish

Once you’ve installed Casablanca, you’ll need to add the required include/lib folders to your VC++ projects. I took the same approach used by the sample projects.

Open Project Properties / Configuration Properties / C/C++ / General and add the following entry to the Additional Include Directories. (note: line breaks added for formatting)

$([MSBuild]::GetRegistryValue(
`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Casablanca\OpenSourceRelease\110\SDK`, 
`InstallDir`))\include

Open Project Properties / Configuration Properties / Linker / General and add the following entry to the Additional Library Directories (separate ones for Debug and Release configs). (note: line breaks added for formatting)

$([MSBuild]::GetRegistryValue(
`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Casablanca\OpenSourceRelease\110\SDK`,
`InstallDir`))\lib\x86\Debug\
$([MSBuild]::GetRegistryValue(
`HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Casablanca\OpenSourceRelease\110\SDK`,
`InstallDir`))\lib\x86\Release\

Now add casablanca110.lib to the Linker / Input / Additional Dependencies.

You’re all set at this point.
