Could not find plugin.lib?

[racing121]

So i reinstalled Visual Studio 2015 got latest version and set up the project template from DK22Pac's tutorial. After setting it up and running it I got the error:

Could not find 'plugin.lib'

 

What is this .lib and where does it go?

[goodidea82]

A .lib file is a library. During compilation libraries are linked with other binary files to produce for example exe files or dlls. You must select project properties or configuration, select "Linker"->Input->Additional Dependencies and there you can add plugin.lib. If it is already there, then you have to edit the path somewhere so that the Linker will find the library.

 

However, what you are asking is a basic programming question, not specific to gta or modding. You will find better explanations elsewhere.

 

EDIT: I have seen your other post. You should first learn a little bit programming in C++ and then do some tutorial how to create program a DLL in Visual Studio. This way you will learn the basic concepts to do something useful with the code.

Managed to work it all out. I found plugin.lib and was able to compile to succussfully compile. I have made my first mod successfully so everything is working. Thanks.
