Hey guys,
I really apologize if this is a really dumb question but how exactly do you get an ogrenewt project to compile and run correctly. I've been trying to get the first demo included with the download from walaber.com to work and I keep running into errors, the latest being:

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'OgreNewt_Main_d.lib'

I've checked the "OgreNewt" folder in its entirety and cannot find any "OgreNewt_Main_d.lib" file. In fact, there's no "OgreNewt_Main/lib" directory which should contain files such as this. Does anyone know if I'm just looking in the wrong place, if I have a corrupted "OgreNewt" folder, or something. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

come on guys....no suggestions? I know people have to know about this....any comments, even "You're a lazy bum.....search the forums....the answer should be there" would be great, seriously (although, I have searched the forums and can't find anything which helps me with my problem).

You need to run the demo 'OgreNewt_Main', it in debug mode, then check (I think) the OgreNewt_Main\lib\debug directory for the .lib and move it somewhere or include the directory in your projects & settings.

Note that to run in release you will need to move the .lib or include the directory from compiling in release mode (makes OgreNewt.lib I believe ;))

actually you have to build OgreNewt before you can use it

so you will get the lib and dll files for both debug and release modes

Yeah, thats what I keep hearing; however, I'm not exactly sure how I am supposed to go about building OgreNewt. I can't see any build files or anything like that......

Ok, I completely understand why no one is responding because I am a complete retard, seriously. I've been on linux too long i guess, my bad guys (No excuse, but I was thinking "build" meant something more than just building the project in visual studio). Anyway, I got it working. I'll understand if no one responds to any posts I make in the future.....I deserve to be smacked around ;0.
