Doing a debug build

Are there any issues with doing a debug build for 1.5?
I'm getting some "unrecognized symbol" errors, and i think it just has to do with getting all the project directories setup properly. I'm using VS express so I downloaded the SDK and referenced the SDK/lib, SDK/bin, SDK/include as the directions for doing this on TDN said. Do i need to reference one of the subfolders or does what ive done sound right? Is there another folder I'm missing? I 'think' the unrecognized symbols are related to mfc...

Shell32.lib is in ...SDK/lib, which i already have in my list of project library directories. Or did you mean something else by "linker inputs"?

This is the explicit list of all libraries that are linked into your application. it won't link anything from the lib paths.

Yes, its not in the path, you need to add it to the "additional libraries" in the linker inputs. The list where you have kernel32.lib and the like.This is the explicit list of all libraries that are linked into your application. it won't link anything from the lib paths.

You have to add the library in the project properties menu: Linker/Input/Additional Dependencies
