Short Story:

Can someone please point me to a tutorial on how to include 3rd party
libraries in my Eclipse CDT Managed project?

Long Story:

I have very limited experinece with c/c++. My background is mostly
webapps, VB, and a bunch of Java. I've been using eclipse for over a year
now (on Java projects). I want to consider C++ for my next project. I've
successfully installed the CDT and I've compiled and run a variety of
simple helloworld C++ programs. I want to see what kind of GUIs I can
make with C++. Clearly I'll need some libraries. Here's the thing: I
don't know how to include libraries in my project (even simple ones).

I read http://home.no.net/dubjai/win32cpptut/w32cpptut_01_05.doc and it
seems to be a non trivial task. Furthermore, it seems that I have to
build the libraries in the same way that I am ging to build my final
application (since eclipse does that for me, I dont' know how)

I've read the CDT FAQ, and I've searched the WIKI and I've searched the
web. I would really appreciate any advice.

I'm using Eclipse 3.0.1 with CDT 2.1.1 (and MinGW 3.2.0 and MSYS 1.0.10 --
I assume because I installed them) and I've created a "Managed Make C++
Project" (I had big problems with the "Standard Make C++ Project" despite
help from http://www.cs.umanitoba.ca/~eclipse/7-EclipseCDT.pdf )

It was http://met.dnsalias.net:1111/teaching/cdt/cdt.html that helped me
accomplish all of this.

Note that since i'm using a managed project "Include Paths & Symbols" and
"Project Paths" are not available in the project's propertis.

Thanks again.
