Integrating SDK

Development Environment

Before integrating the ZEGO Express SDK, please ensure the development environment meets the following requirements:

• Visual Studio 2015 or above.
• Windows 7 or above.
• Audio devices supporting external audio functions are available.

Integrating SDK

Create New Project (Optional)

This step describes how to create a new project as an example. If integrating into an existing project, this step can be ignored.

1. Open Microsoft Visual Studio, select "File > New Project" dialog.

2. In the new project window, select the project type as "MFC Application", enter the project name, select the project storage path, and click "Confirm".

3. Enter the MFC application window, select "Application Type" as "Based on Dialog", and click "Finish".

Import SDK

1. Download SDK.

Please download the SDK package from Download SDK Package.

2. Unzip the SDK package and copy it to the project directory.

The SDK package contains two directories: "include" and "lib". Each directory contains files described as follows:

include    --------------- Include SDK header files
lib        --------------- Contains SDK's .lib and .dll files
    | x86   --------------- 32-bit version
    | x64   --------------- 64-bit version

include    --------------- Include SDK header files
lib        --------------- Contains SDK's .lib and .dll files
    | x86   --------------- 32-bit version
    | x64   --------------- 64-bit version

Set Project Properties

In the Solution Resource Manager window, right-click on the project name, click "Properties". This enters the project properties page.Within the project properties page, perform the following configuration, and click "OK" after completion:

1. Add the include directory to the header file search path.

   Select "Configuration Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories" menu, then click the ellipsis button (...) to add the include directory. In the popup dialog, select "Include directory" as "C/C++", enter the include directory path (e.g., "include"), and click "OK".

2. Select "Configuration Properties > Linker > Input" menu. In the "Additional Dependencies" field, select "Additional Library Directories", and enter the following path:

   Select "Linker > General > Additional Library Directories", enter the lib directory path (e.g., "lib"). Then select "Linker > General > Additional Library Directories" menu again to add the lib directory to the library search path.

   

3. Link the ZegoExpressEngine.lib.

   Select "Configuration Properties > Linker > Input" menu. In the "Additional Dependencies" field, select "Additional Library Directories", enter "lib" to add the lib directory to the library search path. Then select "Linker > General > Additional Library Directories" menu again to add the lib directory path.

Additional Steps (Optional)

Add include directory to header file search path and add lib directory to library search path. Select "Configuration Properties > Linker > Input" menu. In the "Additional Dependencies" field, select "Additional Library Directories", enter the lib directory path (e.g., "lib"). Then select "Linker > General > Additional Library Directories" menu again to add the lib directory path to the library search path.
