VS2015 - how to include secp256k1 in my project?

[xnn]

Hi!
Im using Visual Studio 2015 C++ and trying to include secp256k1 into my project.

I tried downloading the library source from https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1, and moved the folder
to my project folder. I added the include folder to the additional include directories setting in configuration
properties, but trying to compile my project resulted in an unresolved external symbol linker error, which
i assume is because the library is not actually compiling with my project.

How can I compile this library and include it in my project?

That is a generic linker error. The error message should give you information about the missing libraries. What is the content of the unresolved external symbol error?

You should include the header files but also the .c files to your project's files tree.
