Here N is the version of Visual +Studio that you are using. Once the solution is open, select the desired +configuration (Debug or Release) and platform (Win32 or x64) and build +the solution. + +The resulting 32-bit DLLs and import libraries are placed into the +libodb\bin\ and libodb\lib\ directories, respectively. Similarly, the +64-bit DLLs and import libraries are placed into libodb\bin64\ and +libodb\lib64\. The Release versions of import libraries are named +odb.lib and the Debug versions are named odb-d.lib. + +To configure Visual Sudio to automatically locate the libodb headers, +DLLs, and import libraries, add the following paths to your VC++ +Directories: + +Win32: + + Inlcude: ...\libodb + Library: ...\libodb\lib + Executable: ...\libodb\bin + +x64: + + Inlcude: ...\libodb + Library: ...\libodb\lib64 + Executable: ...\libodb\bin64 |
