We supply a set of prebuilt libraries for Visual Studio 2015 and later, which have been built on Windows 8.1 using the Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. The libraries can be found [http://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/build/scummvm_libs_2015.zip here]. | |||

The easiest way to make Visual Studio find the supplied libraries is by using the environment variable "SCUMMVM_LIBS". | The easiest way to make Visual Studio find the supplied libraries is by using the environment variable "SCUMMVM_LIBS". You can set it by performing the following steps: | ||

* Go to Start Menu > Control Panel > System > Advanced Settings > Environment Variables and add a new variable "SCUMMVM_LIBS" with a value of the path you extracted the zip in.
