Hi Paul,
On my second system (the one that has never had VS9 Express), I did finally
find wldap32.lib, located in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDKs\Lib
But this directory doesn't exist on my first system (the one that has had
VS9 Express). On the first system, the file is located in:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Lib
(as I mentioned before). So there does not appear to be a standard location
for this file.
The first one is probably the Platform SDK that came with VC++ 2005
Express (since as I said, it was renamed to Windows SDK for VC++ 2008 -
express or not).
Here's how I've seen it on my systems:
* VC++ 8 (2005) commercial version : The Platform SDK is installed
automatically into VC++'s path structure:
(VC++ root)\VC\PlatformSDK
* VC++ 8 (2005) Express edition : The Platform SDK is installed manually
after having installed VC++ Express (see
http://www.microsoft.com/express/2005/platformsdk/default.aspx) so it
can be installed wherever you want...
* VC++ 9 (2008) commercial or Express edition : The Windows SDK is
installed automatically into your Program Files path (separately from VC++):
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A
So you're right that there is no standard path for the libs in the
Platform SDK. Especially since you can install it anywhere you want in
the case of VC++ 2005 Express. So that's the rationale behind adding its
path into your "VC++ Directories" configuration. That way the compiler
always knows where to get it.
I'll admit, I generally don't add anything into that dialog myself. I
personally prefer keeping control over where libraries are found inside
my project, instead of compiler-wide. However, since those are standard
Windows libraries, and I don't need to have control over which version
is linked in (there will generally be only one valid version for each
compiler version) it doesn't matter that much for these libraries.
Hope this explains some things :-)
J-S
