Building a DLL

I have Visual Studio 6.0. I have downloaded an SDK for writing audio apps
that will be in the form of DLLs. I want to build the example file that has
been provided. Unfortunately, I am getting "link errors". My question is,
how do I properly configure the environment to build a dll? I am certain the
code is correct, as it is provided by a large reputable company.
So far, I have set the path to the SDK common files using
Tools->Options->Directories->Include files.I have tried to set project
options to build a dll correctly with Project->Settings->Link but I guess I
am doing something wrong.
I am a newbie at the development environment so I realize this is a pretty
basic question and I appreciate any help.

Try posting a more specific question. I'd guess that you need to add the SDK
Libraries directory to the list, plus if you added a particular .h file you
might need to add the .lib file that goes with it.

You might not get much support anywhere for VS 6.0 questions because MS no
longer supports it (except for VB 6).
