I'm trying to run this github project under Win10: https://github.com/maxpenner/quadcopter-simulation

And it states:

Open the project in Visual Studio C++.
Two libraries have to be linked:

  • Eigen for linear algebra
  • Irrlicht for rendering

As an unexperienced c++ developer, I can't understand how I'm supposed to link these libraries, say Eigen - I downloaded and extracted the Tar file, now what?

Thanks for advance for the help

  • In addition to the advice in the duplicate, make absolutely certain that the libraries you downloaded are intended for Visual Studio. Generally Windows doesn't deal in tar files so it's possible you've accidentally grabbed GCC libraries intended for Linux. – user4581301 Oct 07 '19 at 07:26

After extracting the Eigen, add path to its root directory (which contains another Eigen directory just inside) to the list of additional include directories of the quadcopter-simulation project. (open project properties and find 'additional include directories' option)

For the Irrlicht, add path to its include directory to your project's additional include directories; and add the irrlicht.lib inside /irrlicht-1.8.4/lib/Win32-visualstudio/ or /irrlicht-1.8.4/lib/Win64-visualstudio/ to additional dependencies of your project.
