Rightclick on the project -> Properties -> VC++ Directories -> Library Directories -> Add Library Path (I have version in another language so the names could be a little different)

Then you write into your Programm #pragma comment(lib,"NAMEOFLIB")

I know, how to link onter libraries, but SOL doesn't have the .lib file. It has the .a file. – Alenprintf Jun 08 '16 at 12:24
that sounds stupid but i think that i just changed the .a to a .lib and it worked – jovan Jun 08 '16 at 12:28
you mean to rename the file? But it gives me and error: cannot open libSOIL.lib – Alenprintf Jun 08 '16 at 12:29
i found a working version of the file on my computer and uploaded it: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=CF5ABC1A46725010!440&authkey=!AFhaF3v_sPtuYyo&ithint=file%2clib – jovan Jun 08 '16 at 12:40
