Add the folder address to your "LIB" variable or properties, and add the name "dxflib" to your link properties.

I think the name "dxflib.lib" should be added to link properties (if lib file was called in that way).

Hi Richard
Thanks for your reply but I failed to link dxflib. Extracted folder is in my project folder. I took following steps,
Projects->Settings. In the tab C/C++, category selected was 'Preprocessor'. In the 'Additional include directories' I entered dxflib-2.2.0.0-1src (folder name).
In the 'Link' tab, category selected was 'Input' and in the field 'Additional Library path' I entered dxflib. Second time I entered dxflib.lib. Failed both times to link.
Incidently, a folder 'lib' in the folder dxflib-2.2.0.0-1src is empty. Is there something wrong?

'Additional include directories' isn't the directory where your libraries come from. There's two ways you can do what you want:

If you wish to add dxflib.lib to your current project alone, you can add it with a path on the link tab. E.g. 'dxflib-2.2.0.0-1src/dxflib.lib'.

If you plan to use dxflib.lib in several other projects as well, it might be a good idea to tell the compiler to always look into the libary's folder when searching for lib files.
To do this, go to Tools>Options, click on the Directories tab, select 'Show directories for: Library files' and select the dxflib-2.2.0.0-1src folder.
Now you can link your dxflib.lib as mentioned above, but without need to add the path.
