Hi Robert, The MPIR documentation assumes that people are familiar with developing software using MSVC. I don't think there is anything MPIR specific here. I don't develop using MSVC personally, but it looks like you aren't linking against the MPIR library. That's more of an MSVC query I think.
Some good resources are stackoverflow.com, msdn.microsoft.com, the MSVC documentation and so on. My apologies if I'm overlooking something here, but I'm not an MSVC developer myself. Bill.
