I would assume this guy is not using Linux. In many cases, it is less problematic to deal with open source library in Linux, as when you install them with default setting or using precompiled packages from your distro, they go to default directory, and that's pretty much to it.
In windows, what I generally do is to set the output path from my IDE to one specific folder, let's say /bin, and copy all precompiled DLLs to that folder.
