[AFRO M. <mvc...@ho...>]

<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>
<P><BR>Hi all,</P>
<P>I just got a new library but, noob as I am, have no idea how to install it (it wasn't a devpack).</P>
<P>Here are all the files:</P>
<P>loose- MPPluginHeader.h</P>
<P>inside folder MPPluginC- MPPluginHeader.h</P>
<P>-MPPluginC.mak</P>
<P>-MPPluginC.h</P>
<P>-MPPluginC.dsw</P>
<P>-MPPluginC.dsp</P>
<P>-MPPluginC.def</P>
<P>-MPPluginC.cpp</P>
<P>-Folder "Release"</P>
<P><BR>inside folder Release-MPPluginC.dll</P>
<P>If anyone could tell me where the files probably go, or if they know about any devpacks for the library, or a tut on installng new libraries to DevC++ it wiuld be helpful</P>
<P>Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.</P></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>We've 100s of NEW questions! Play Millionaire online to win $$$$. <a href="http://g.msn.com/8HMAENAU/2749??PS="> Click here!</a> </html>

Header files (.h) go to                /include
Source files (.c, .cpp) go             wherever you want them
Library files (.a, .lib, .dll) go to   /lib
Dll (.dll) files go to                 /dll

Before you ask, yes, .dll was listed twice, and it was intentional. :)
In case you don't have an import library, then you have to copy .dll to=20
the lib folder, otherwise not.

Though C++ DLLs *will not* work, if compiled with another compiler (as I=20
can see, MSVC 6). This does not stand for C DLLs.
