    Adding libzip to project in VisualStudio2017

    Hi
    I have a problem with libzip archivum in VisualStudio 2017. Adding libzip using NuGet package managing.
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <zip.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    
    int main()
    {
        zip_open("C:/Users/arch.zip", 0, 0);
    }
    Compiling this code give me error
    "Unresolved external symbol _imp_zip_open". Can you help me please.

    I thought the whole point of the likes of nuget was to automate all of this.

    Or maybe it's biased towards .net, so anything C++ is an afterthought.

    Anyway, what you need to do is navigate through the project settings to add the name of the library you want to link with.

    You might also need to alter the VC Directories to also specify an additional linker path to where the library is located.

    It would seem that it's already updated the include search path, since it found the .h file just fine.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
