How do I use SDK files on Visual Studio?

Question

I'm a music producer and an audio nerd. Now that I'm a Software Development student I downloaded SDK files from Image-Line to develop plugins.

But I have no 'running' clue what they are. 😓

Please help explain what they are/used for, and how can I use them on Microsoft's Visual Studio (C++).

Thanks!

Answer 1

i dont know what image line is, but sdk is what its gonna allow you to communicate with it. think of it as a library or a api or something like that.

if you downloaded, after installing it, probably theres gonna be some exemple set for use you can use

if it does not work, sadly probably wont, you will have to set somethings on visual studio.

i did not find a tutorial on image line to link here, but the steps are the same, you just have to adjust to your problem.

so on the following link go to Configure Build Settings, its the only part that you must change:

if any thing goes wrong search how link libraries on vs
