cannot open file 'soil2-debug.lib

Question

I'm trying to create an opengl window with c ++ but I encounter this error "cannot open file 'soil2-debug.lib'" (I added the folder to linker> general)

That's the code

#include "libs.h"

int main ()
{
glfwInit ();


const int WINDOW_WIDTH = 640;
const int WINDOW_HEIGHT = 480;
int FramebufferWidth = 0;
int FramebufferHeight = 0;


glfwWindowHint (GLFW_OPENGL_PROFILE, GLFW_OPENGL_CORE_PROFILE);
glfwWindowHint (GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 4);
glfwWindowHint (GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 4);
glfwWindowHint (GLFW_RESIZABLE, GLFW_FALSE);
glfwWindowHint (GLFW_OPENGL_FORWARD_COMPAT, GL_TRUE);


GLFWwindow * window = glfwCreateWindow (WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, "Yairk_bit", NULL, NULL);


glfwGetFramebufferSize (window, & FramebufferWidth, & FramebufferHeight);
glViewport (0, 0, FramebufferWidth, FramebufferHeight);

glfwMakeContextCurrent (window);

glewExperimental = GL_TRUE;

if (glewInit ()! = GLEW_OK)
{
std :: cout << "ERR :: main.cpp :: GlewInit Faild" << "\ n";
glfwTerminate ();
}

while (! glfwWindowShouldClose (window))
{

}

glfwTerminate ();



return 0;
}

Hi,

As far as I'm concerned, you should add the path to the .lib file to the Additional Library Directories (property -> linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories). I suggest you check if the path of .lib is correct.

And make sure in Visual Studio you are always adding the paths to all your configurations (Debug/Release).

Best Regards,

Jeanine
