I'm really not sure and I'm not a Visual C++ expert. Unless you are modifying PortMidi, you should be able to just drag or add the PortMidi library into a project to get it to link to PortMidi. The bit about "do not select make dependency box" seems to be in the pm_win/README_WIN.txt file, but the rest of the sentence says "(you will explicitly do this in the next step)". I don't remember what this is about, and we've been through at least one or two Visual C++ releases, so I'm not sure it's correct or necessary. If you are modifying or debugging PortMidi sources and having any problems, I'd recommend do the simple thing and just add all the relevant sources to your project -- there's no real need to compile a separate library, especially while debugging. If you are not modifying or single-stepping through sources, you don't need to worry about dependencies, and you can treat PortMidi like any other library.

Hi,

In the ReadMe, I am instructed to open the PortMidi workspace then add a new blank project to it and - do *NOT* select the "make dependency" box.

However, I want to add PortMIDI functionality to an already existing project -- I know I can add my project to the PortMIDI workspace, but what's the best way of handling the dependency issue?
