LNK 1104 error with glut32.lib

[Mike]

I'm trying to recover MSVC.net to a new laptop to run an open source flight
simulation program and have suceeded in building the required plib and
simgear projects. I am nearing completion and have recieved the LNK 1104
error, "cannot find glut32.lib" file. when the file is actually located in
the C:\windows\system32 directory. I have this system running on a
workstation at the office and remember seeing this during that system set-up
but cannot remember the solution to this recurring event. can anyone point
me in the right direction?

Thanks,

[Klaus H. Probst]

..lib files are not looked up using the system path, they're looked up using
the library path in Visual Studio. Open up the preferences for the VC++
directories setting and either add the directory where you placed the .lib
file or see which directories are there and put the .lib in one of those.
