Using TheIDE menus options.
To add static libraries:

Project > Package organizer..

To add an other path to search for this static library:

Setup > Build methods

Two tips:
- Click on Core package (upper left), you will see an example on the right.
- Click on the right in the white space for pop up menu.

I get "Linking has failed" for MSC9 after:
1) Build Method->LIB directories, append row with path for .lib
2) In Package organizer added .lib file name (see attached screen)

Hello IST1
You should remove the '.lib' extension from you're library name.

TIP : if you activate 'menu/setup/be verbose' you will see the complete linker command line: and you will probably see something like 'cpplib.lib.lib' ... which doesn't exist !

Thanks!
Next question is how to switch DEBUG and RELEASE (in WHRERE) version of .lib-file?
