Re: [Plib-users] PLIB for WIN32 - configure error C compiler cannot create executables

[Giovi <gio...@gm...>]

Hello John,
thanks a lot! It works now!

As you have suggested I have used the "plib.dsw" to build PLIB.
Then I have copied the plib folder in the path C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\include\.

Thank you so much!
Ciao!
