It depends on what tools you’re using! I would recommend downloading Visual Studio and following along with a tutorial.

qt pretty is good

[dark ermine]

You got a few options
Visual C++ for Windows-only
Qt and WxWidgets for cross-platform apps

Ok but i want to use imgui

[dark ermine]

then read the documentation and use it

[proper path]

I can't

I only use cpp for competitive problems

[dark ermine]

I'm not sure how we can help

Are you looking for a tutorial or

[proper path]

And course or tutorial you suggest

[proper path]

Yup

[dark ermine]

Personally none for C++
Most of them are just bad

!resources

hmmm what was the command

[proper path]

What

Hy

[dark ermine]

Check #1124619767542718524

[proper path]

It's fuzzy

[dark ermine]

well

check this

I only want to know the process of ,how to link third party lib

[dark ermine]

then use cmake

or vcpkg

[proper path]

That's the point, 😅 what is cmake and why we need

[dark ermine]

well you can always just do -l for the normal compiler but this is easier

[dark ermine]

cmake makes your life easier when building C(++) apps
it automates some stuff, checks etc

How to link imgui

Can you send a simple linking file

It would be a great help

[dark ermine]

Which OS are you in

[proper path]

Window

[dark ermine]

Not entirely sure, Windows is a headache for C++ programming

[tidal tulip]

well depends on how you set it up, you can simply include the files you need or you can setup an imgui libary

[proper path]

What is the progress

[tidal tulip]

on your IDE, build system and more

https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Getting-Started

this goes into it

[dark ermine]

Yeah mcmlevi is right
You can just make a lib folder inside your project and include it inside your project
in this case tho it's best if you use cmake because you're gonna have a headache adding all filenames to the compiler command manually

[proper path]

But i don't know how to do it

[dark ermine]

Download the imgui source code or git clone it

make a folder inside your project folder

call it lib

either git clone inside it or move the folder inside that lib folder

then

in your cmakelists file write

target_include_directories(${PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE
    libs/imgui
)

[proper path]

Ok

[dark ermine]

I highly advise you check cmake.org

[proper path]

After this code will run

[dark ermine]

it'll give you a more detailed explanation

Ohk
