Visual Studio 2008 Project Properties for FDK Clients

Visual Studio 2008 project properties for FDK clients

This document contains settings that I use in my VS2008 (VC++9) to compile FDK projects. To get to these settings, right-click on the project name in the Solution Explorer and click Properties. I’ve been using them for a few years and thus far, things seem to be working OK. Please note that:

 This information is not endorsed by Adobe and could have mistakes  You may need to adjust some things like FDK library versions, output paths, etc. to suit your needs. You’ll almost certainly need to adjust the locations of the library and header files.  I am not an expert on compiler settings. Again, please do not assume that this information is known to be correct. It is simply what I have gotten to work.  This project is not set up to compile input/output XML clients  Feedback is welcome.

Thanks, Russ Ward [email protected] “Debug” configuration
