    You need to read the documentation for the development tools used: Visual Studio, mingw, or whatever you have. You can also see the accompanying documentation for the library itself, it can be written there how to connect it to various projects. - Vladimir Martyanov

    @VladD, that’s fine with you: D far I actively use .. Initially Far-е there was no hyphen in the word Far-е ;) I thought some secret IDE might have been meant: " Fare " - Anton Komyshan

TinyXml is a small, header-only library.

So just put it (tinyxml.h and maybe tinystr.h) in a separate directory and connect via #include .

Your development tools (Visual Studio or MinGW) have nothing to do with this, as there is no compiled code in the library.

Clarification: as correctly noted by @ zenden2k, the library is not really header-only. According to the documentation :

It is two headers and four cpp files. Go ahead.

i.e

It [library] consists of two header files and four cpp files. Just connect them to your project and that's it.

That is, you need to put cpp-files next to the headers and add them along with the other sources to your project (Visual Studio) or makefile.

  • "header-only-library" is not true - zenden2k
