Where is Newton.lib?

[Hattress]

Hi,
I am looking for a step-by-step tutorial for those who are completely new to this engine. All the tutorials I have found are very old and not working for the latest version of Newton.

My problem is that I am unsure how and which folders you should compile to get the library file, as Visual Studio 2013 gets this message:

Error 1 error LNK1104: cannot open file 'Newton.lib' c:\Users\User\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\build\build\LINK build

According to the info I've found there is supposed to be a SDK folder, however - that is not the case. These are the existing folders: /applications/cmake/coreLibrary_300 and /packages

Where is Newton.lib located?

I'm not up to date, but i open demosSandbox project from here:
applications\demosSandbox\projects\visualStudio_2012

I can complile and run that out of the box (have had no luck nith newton-only-project because VS2013 did not want to update this project).
However, demosSandbox builds newton as well and newton_d.lib goes there:

coreLibrary_300\projects\windows\project_vs2012_static_mt\Win32\newton\Debug\

Hello, thanks your your reply!
Now I have completed these steps:

- Compile in VS13: /packages/project/visualStudio_2013/build
- Copied Newton DLL file to my projects Debug folder in VS13.
- Included newton_d.lib and newton.h in project

And I get these errors:

Error 3 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__NewtonCreate referenced in function _main C:\Users\User\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\build\build\build.obj build

Error 4 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __imp__NewtonDestroy referenced in function _main C:\Users\User\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\build\build\build.obj build

It looks like it can find the .lib file and the header file, but I am missing something...?

if you are going to use it as dll you need to build project

C:\Development\newton-dynamics\packages\projects\visualStudio_2013_dll/build

C:\Development\newton-dynamics\packages\projects\visualStudio_2013/build
is a mix project that have many different configurations, it probably has the dll configuarion, but It simpler to use the specific configuration

if you are going to use it as dll you need to build project

C:\Development\newton-dynamics\packages\projects\visualStudio_2013_dll/build

After doing that and adding newton_d.lib as an additional dependency(project Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker-Input->Additional dependencies) it worked!
