How to build a library using Visual Studio 2008

[Chris Saunders]

Sorry, I have asked this question before and saved the reply but I have
since managed to lose the saved file (through re-installation of Windows).
I don't use Visual Studio much and have forgotten.

My question is how does one go about building a library using Visual Studio
2008? If you reply note that I am not very skilled at using Visual Studio.

File / New / Project...

Pick Visual C++ / Win32 / Win32 Project

When the new project wizard starts, choose either static library or
DLL.

Thanks very much Richard. I'll save your reply and hopefully not lose it
too soon. Is it possible to do this for 64 bits?

For 64-bit compilers you need to have Standard or better.

They are not installed by default, you have to specifically select
them from the feature tree during installation.

If you have both of those, then you just need to add x64 as a platform
to your solution.
