Actually it is not the coding side of it that i am struggling with. I dont know how to comfigure the compiler and include the different directories and so on.

Select Project Properties/Configuration Properties/Linker/Input. Then on the dialog to the right add you libraries as additional dependencies.

This gets the library name added to your project. To set the path to it, select from the TaskBar Tools/Options/Projects and Solutions/VC++ Directories. Then use the drop-down menu for "show directories" to select library files. Then add your path.

Visual Studio will search the paths in the order they appear in the list box.
