I want to add SDL and SDL_image to my Visual Studio project. But can I do it locally only for this project? I don't want to put the dlls in System32 folder.
As described by Ciprian Khlud, you could simply put your DLLs next to the output binary (.exe). You could find output directory in
Right click on project -> Project Settings -> General -> Output Directory
Alternatively, you could add the folder where DLLs are into the list of search directories:
Right click on project -> Project Settings -> VC++ Directories -> Executable Directories
(same way as you add include dirs and library dirs)
